SUMMARY:CYBERSECURITY SELF-ASSESSMENT WORKSHOP
DESCRIPTION:Does your company need to comply with NIST SP 800-171\, a set of cybersecurity guidelines that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) requires all of its suppliers to meet? Before you can pursue compliance\, you’ll need to perform a cybersecurity self-assessment so that you can identify issues you’ll need to remediate. This process can be time-consuming\, but now there’s a way to complete a cybersecurity self-assessment in less time than if you did all on your own. \nJoin the New York Manufacturing Extension Partnership (NY MEP) and its partners for a four-hour Cybersecurity Self-Assessment Workshop on April 21\, 2021 from 9 AM to 1 PM. Our experts will explain what you need to know about NIST SP 800-171 and guide you through hands-on exercises as you assess your cyber readiness. You’ll also learn about the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and how to determine your SPRS score so that you can submit it for DoD contract opportunities.  \nNYS manufacturing companies that enroll in this free workshop will receive: \n\nAccess to cybersecurity experts who will efficiently explain all 14 families in NIST SP 800-171\nPractical experience with identifying problems so that you can take corrective action\nThe ability to ask questions and get answers as you identify the issues you need to address\nHelp calculating your SPRS score so that you can submit it when you bid on DoD contracts\nAutomatic enrollment in a Cybersecurity Cohort that provides free training valued at $12\,000.\n\nThis event is powered by FuzeHub\, the statewide NY MEP center\, in partnership with the Advanced Institute for Manufacturing (AIM) and the Manufacturing and Technology Enterprise Center (MTEC) (two regional NY MEP centers with proven cybersecurity assessment and remediation capabilities) along with NYS Procurement Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) that provide government contracting assistance. You’ll also learn from the Global Cybersecurity Institute at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). \nWhen: April 21\, 2021 – 9:00AM to 1:00PM  \nLocation: Online Virtual Workshop \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n

SUMMARY:The Path Forward: A Proactive Approach To Business Continuity Planning
DESCRIPTION:If the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed one thing to manufacturers\, it’s how unprepared most of us were for such an event. Companies producing everything from PPE and ventilators to anti-bacterial wipes and toilet paper were forced to react with little to no warning. The best lesson we can all take away from this is that\, going forward\, we should all take a much more proactive and strategic approach to running our businesses. \nREGISTER HERE>> \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Food for Thought #7: 3D Printing of Ceramics with Lithoz America
DESCRIPTION:The Manufacturing Incubator at Tech Valley Center of Gravity presents Food for Thought: A Business & Product Development Virtual Luncheon Series. \nCeramic additive manufacturing (3D printing) opens doors to product development and small series manufacturing\, combined with functional complexity that was traditionally cost prohibitive for many applications. This talk will share the current state of the art of ceramic 3D printing and the types of applications where this large family of materials is finding use. \nCeramic materials play key roles in cars\, smartphones\, aircraft\, surgical tools\, dentistry\, and many other products\, but they are lesser known than plastics and metals because they are challenging to produce. Additive manufacturing simplifies ceramic development and production\, by eliminating tooling and machining\, and enabling shapes that were never before possible in these special materials. \nLithoz is the market leader in 3D printers and materials for advanced ceramic\, for use in aerospace\, medical\, dental\, energy\, and industrial applications. Lithoz America\, located in the Rensselaer Tech Park\, is the US branch of Lithoz GmbH from Vienna Austria. Lithoz America performs sales and support of systems\, materials & printing development and demonstration services\, and production of custom materials for printing. \nMr. Shawn Allan is Vice President of Lithoz America LLC\, which was established in 2017 to build and sell AM equipment to produce high-performance ceramic parts that are widely used in the electronics\, aerospace\, and biomedical industries. Mr. Allan has over 20 years of experience in ceramic processing\, technology development\, and additive manufacturing \nhttps://twitter.com/LithozAustria\nhttps://at.linkedin.com/company/lithoz-gmbh/ \n********************\nThe Manufacturing Incubator at Tech Valley Center of Gravity offers direct engineering consultation as well as coaching\, advice\, risk-mitigation strategies and need-based referrals for product development startups. This program is a community based\, independent and public program. The ideal clients are those who are developing a physical product and need assistance in prototype development\, design for manufacturing\, scaling up\, or other related design and manufacturing problems. \nWith our makerspace and prototyping center\, you can meet with your incubation team\, fabricate your prototype\, and manufacture your product all in the same building. \nThe Manufacturing Incubator is a certified NYS Incubator and affiliated Innovate 518 Hotspot partner supported by the Empire State Development Division of Science\, Technology\, and Innovation (NYSTAR). \n  \nREGISTER HERE>>\n  \n
