The cybersecurity industry is in desperate need of more “bureaucracy hackers” — individuals within federal and state governments who are authorities on the intricacies of policy creation and the nature of today’s rapidly-evolving technology and threat landscapes.

Our corporations, universities and research centers are the lifeblood of global innovation, having pioneered society’s technological advancements over the past 75 years. Yet in spite of all the amazing innovation that has made the American economy the envy of the world, we remain the most digitally vulnerable business population on the planet.
