Vic Verchereau welcomes Tim Hygh, who is the Executive Director of Mackinac Island Tourism.

“In 1872 the United States Congress created at Yellowstone in Wyoming the world's first national park. Three years later Mackinac Island, Michigan, became the site of the second. For centuries, visitors have enjoyed this national treasure that’s home to historic Fort Mackinac, world-famous Mackinac Island fudge and car-free streets full of horse-drawn carriages. This ideal vacation spot is a paradise of exploration with incredible natural landmarks, awe-inspiring sunrises and unforgettable sunsets. There’s unique shopping, diverse dining and extraordinary nightlife too. No wonder Travel + Leisure ranked Mackinac Island the Best Island in the Continental U.S. and USA Today has named Mackinac Island the Best Summer Travel Destination for two years in a row! Start planning your Mackinac Island adventure and come experience the Jewel of the Great Lakes yourself!

Tim Hygh is the Executive Director of Mackinac Island Tourism and works throughout the year to help the world to understand the beauty of Michigan's greatest treasure Mackinac Island. In this edition of Michigan Corners, Vic Verchereau hears all about the new and the historic going on across the island.

In the Crosshairs: Cybersecurity and the Threat to Manufacturing

Cybersecurity is the protection of your hardware, software, and data against unauthorized access to systems, data, and networks. This is especially important in the manufacturing industry, which experiences nearly one quarter of all cyberattacks! And while you may be among the many manufacturers seeing benefits from new technologies, from IoT-enabled devices to advanced analytics and 'smart' factories, these cloud-connected applications can also introduce new risks. A proactive cybersecurity strategy is critical to protect your manufacturing operations, intellectual property, PII and financial data, and your company's reputation. This webinar will give you an overview of the threats you should expect to face and some practical tactics you might employ to mitigate cyber risks.
