YPSILANTI ? The Eastern Michigan University Student Center will host the 2011 Great Lakes InfraGard Fall Conference on September 13. This year’s theme is Strengthening Partnerships for Critical Infrastructure Protection.

The Question? Are we ready for the attacks on our infrastructure that are being predicted by many specialists worldwide? Do we have a mitigation plan in place for when our system/facility/state/nation is attacked? What kind of attacks must we be prepared to defend?

It is no longer a question of IF; it really is a question of WHEN we will be attacked again.
