Governor kicks off Cybersecurity Month
Gov. O’Malley joined more than 300 guests at CyberCore Technologies in Elkridge last week to kick off National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. CyberCore, launched by Kevin and John Powderly in 2000, employs more than 200 Marylanders and anticipates $200+ million in sales this year. Following a ribbon-cutting ceremony to open CyberCore’s new state-of-the-art integration center and lab, the Governor met with a group of industry leaders for a roundtable discussion on Maryland’s cybersecurity challenges and opportunities.

The visit to CyberCore was one of many events to recognize National Cybersecurity Month in Maryland. The state is a founding sponsor – along with SAIC and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County – of the inaugural Maryland Cyber Challenge (MDC3) at the Baltimore Convention Center on October 21 and 22. A new exhibit showcasing Maryland’s cyber strengths will be launched at MDC3 and a CyberMaryland advertising campaign debuted this month on WashingtonPost.com. The multi-billion-dollar global cybersecurity industry employs more than 60,000 in Maryland alone.
