9:30am-12:50pm In the not too distant future,
we anticipate that the cyber threat will pose
the greatest threat to our country. Robert Mueller, Director of the FBI*

Information and Cyber Security
Malware, data breaches, denial of service, phishing, and other cyber attacks are proliferating.
Highly publicized attacks on major corporations, governments, infrastructure,
and financial organizations are in the news almost daily, underscoring
the need for professionals who are trained to recognize and deal with cyber threats.

Cyber attacks can come in a variety of forms, but often the intent is malicious-an
attempt to bring down a computer system, or an intrusion seeking to access and steal intellectual or
proprietary data and information.
At risk are such things as trade or industry secrets,
corporate reputation, customer data including credit card information,
and even physical damage to equipment. In fact, a recent report
by the Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive
highlighted the ease with which foreign collectors of economic information are able to operate in
cyberspace with relatively little risk of detection by their private sector targets.

As governments and private entities become
increasingly dependent on computer technology to transmit and
store sensitive data, intellectual property, and financial transactions,
the need for information security and risk analysis professionals will increase.

       WINTER ROAD MAINTENANCE

Innovations in Snow and Ice Management

JANUARY 29, 2016 NJ LAW CENTER
*Approved by the State of NJ, DCA for CPWM -4 CEUs-TECHNICAL

Seminar Timetable 9:30am-12:50pm

9:00am -9:30 am Registration, HOT BUFFET BREAKFAST

9:30am -12:50pm Winter Maintenance Practices include plowing, sanding,
and applying winter anti-icing liquids.
The combination of practices used at each site may vary
to accommodate the different climate,
traffic, and storm conditions encountered. Goal is to provide safe roadway.
Maintenance practices include: Plowing:
Using snowplows and other equipment to remove snow and ice from bridges and roads.

Applying material specified for each area (includes various sizes of gravel or cinders)
on highways to improve vehicle traction.
Winter liquid products are used in several ways
To melt snow and ice on the road surface(used as a deicer).
To help prevent snow and ice from sticking to the road surface (used as an anti-icer).
In conjunction with sand to help the sand stick to icy roads(used to pre-wet sand).

Using winter anti-icing/deicing liquids as tools to improve safety,
improve the efficiency of time spent plowing,
and address environmental concerns resulting
Other states that use winter anti-icing/deicing liquids have had reductions in wintertime motor vehicle crashes.
Additionally, the anti-icing/deicing liquids can be cheaper than sanding and may reduce
the amount of time spent plowing.
Winter anti-icing/deicing liquids are applied to the road in order to l
ower the freezing temperature of water and to
prevent ice and snow from forming a bond to the roadway surface. These products are used for:
Anti-icing: The product is applied to the road before a storm to reduce the buildup of snow and ice,
to prevent the ice or snow from forming a bond to the roadway surface and to help in removal of the snow or ice after the storm.
De-icing: The product is applied to a layer of ice or snow that is on the road.
This will assist in melting the ice or snow.
Pre-wetting: The product is mixed into sanding material.
This makes the sanding material stick to the ice or snow,
and helps to prevent traffic from blowing the sanding material off the road.
Instructor: Dr. Jay N. Meegoda, Ph.D, P.E., NJIT
