September 24, 2011 - The Cyber Economic Conference, “Maryland’s Cyber Battleground APG to Ft. Meade: The Regional Impact and Global Reach of the New Cyber Technology” hosted by Corridor Inc. revealed the relationship between cyber security and job creation.

The group of 12 speakers and panelists discussed the reality of the “Cyber Age,” “protection of internet vulnerabilities,” and hacking of personal information. Hart Rossman, Vice President, and Chief Technology Officer for Cyber Security Services & Solutions (SAIC) expressed concerns of getting security communication on board with drivers on the Internet, and collecting enough data to identify the user.

The main focus expressed by both elected official and panelists was the need to invest in education opportunities to increase the number of cyber security engineers within the I-95 corridor.

The conference featured keynote speaker, C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, Ranking Member, House Select Committee on Intelligence, John Sarbanes, House Select Committee on Natural Resources and Science, Space, and Technology, and Doug Gansler, Maryland Attorney General.

Partners PressBox, Greater Baltimore Committee, Center Maryland, and Corridor Inc. joined efforts with seven organizations to produce the major conference. Sponsors for this event were ManTech International Corporation, The Hotel at Arundel Preserve, Corporate Office Properties Trust (COPT), Morgan State University, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Harford County Office of Economic Development, Anne Arundel Community College, and Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore.
