More Cyber Security related news(didn't want to start a new thread);
I was watching CNBC and it seems like they will be here in SA on the 10th to talk about the growth of Cyber Security here in SA.
Quoting Erin Burnett:
"We are headed to Texas and we are very excited to make a stand... at the Alamo. Among our special reports were gonna be focusing on Cyber Security, its one of the fastest growing industries in the country, the capital is in San Antonio...."
---------------------------------------------------
Confirmed it with Mayor Castro's
State of the City speech:
"The day that the 24th Air Force was to be inaugurated, we put out a press release touting San Antonio's cyber assets, and
I got on the phone with a reporter and we were fortunate enough that the New York Times saw fit to declare that San Antonio is becoming a leader in cyber security.
On February 10th CNBC will broadcast from San Antonio and profile San Antonio's business success and the cities of Texas, and we will continue to invest in raising the profile of our successes to other communities throughout this nation and the world. I believe that we cannot even count over the years how many opportunities we've missed because people don't know about all the riches of this city and its potential. And with your work and the great accomplishments that this business community and our general community have made, selling San Antonio is not hard at all, and it's a pleasure to do that. "

CCDC for this year.
