The UTSA Institute for Cyber Security (ICS) hosts its first “Founders Day” celebrating the launch of the new ICS Internet Security incubator and the past year’s achievements of the ICS Labs and the ICS Center for Infrastructure Assurance and Security (CIAS).

Additionally, Purdue University’s world-renowned cyber security expert, Professor Eugene Spafford, will discuss “Information Security: Some Past Successes, Some Future Challenges.”

The institute selected two San Antonio start-ups, DenimIP and SafeMashups as the first companies entering the incubator. DenimIP, a new venture created as a spin-off from Denim Group LLP, is an IT consultancy specializing in custom software development, systems integration, and application security. SafeMashups is a fledgling company founded to provide the level of security needed for enterprises to strategically leverage mashups for business purposes.

The event brings together more than 100 ICS personnel, incubator company advisors, and luminaries from all facets of the cyber security industry to recognize UTSA as one of the finest cyber security research and development centers in the country.

Tuesday, Nov. 18th from ; 4-5:30 p.m. @ UTSA 1604 Campus Biotechnology, Sciences and Engineering Building, Second Floor Room 2.102.
