Did you know that Huntsville is once again hosting the National Cyber Summit, a preeminent event aimed at protecting our nation from cyber threats to defense, healthcare, commerce, and the civilian population at large? Some of the speakers are renowned in the FBI, DOD, and NASA; commercial enterprises such as Google, IBM, and Honda; and multiple institutes of higher learning.
One of the featured summit speakers is Geeks and Nerds’ very own Jake Schneider, Cyber Subject Matter Expert and Cyber Division Program Manager.
