Harris... More Than Thinking... CyberThought (Events)


[SatNews] Harris Corporation (NYSE: HRS) is participating in National Cybersecurity Awareness Month with public presentations by its cyber thought leaders and a special website devoted to helping people better understand how to defend themselves against cybersecurity challenges.

"Cyberspace is the engine for much of the U.S. economy," said Dale W. Meyerrose, vice president and general manager, Harris Cyber Integrated Solutions and the former Chief Information Officer for the U.S. Intelligence Community. "I hope that we as a nation take heed of information presented during National Cybersecurity Awareness Month and incorporate best practices now rather than wait for a cyber emergency to occur before we pay attention." Meyerrose, and other Harris cyber experts, will appear before various groups this month to highlight the need to make cyber a national priority, and for cyberspace to become a trusted domain for both private and government sectors. Several events are listed below and a complete listing of events is available on the Harris National Cyber Security Awareness Month spotlight at www.harris.com...
