C. Thomas McMillen, Chairman and CEO, Homeland Security Capital Corporation; Vice Chairman, Fortress International Group, Inc.; Chairman and Co-CEO, Secure America Acquisition Corp., former three-term Congressman from Maryland
"From the finance sector to our military, from energy companies to our intelligence agencies, our nation relies upon a vast, interdependent web of information technology systems. Every day this infrastructure is under cyber-siege. The tools we have deployed now to defend against these attacks simply cannot defeat the sophisticated enemies we now face—organized crime, corporate spies, foreign intelligence services. According to the General Accountability Office, cyber-crime costs the U.S. economy at least $117 billion each year. These attacks may be virtual, but the barbarians are not at the gates, they are inside our systems.
That is about to change. INTEGRITY Security offers American government and business the ability to effectively protect their information and operations against even the most determined attacks. For the last three years the experts at the NSA, the best in the world, worked hard to break the INTEGRITY System. They had the source code, they had all the information possible, and, yet, they couldn't defeat INTEGRITY. We need INTEGRITY protecting all our vital government and corporate information and information systems."
Tom McMillen has served as the company's Chairman & CEO since August 2005. He serves as Vice Chairman of Fortress International Group Inc., formerly Fortress America Acquisition Corporation, a company that designs, builds and maintains mission-critical facilities and trades on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol FIGI.

He was appointed by President Clinton to Co-Chair the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports from 1993 to 1997. From 1987 through 1993, McMillen served three consecutive terms in the United States House of Representatives from the 4th Congressional District.
McMillen graduated from the University of Maryland with a BS in Chemistry. He earned a BA and MA from University College, Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
General Eugene E. Habiger, USAF, Ret.; Former Commander in Chief, US Strategic Command; Former Director of Security and Emergency Operations, US Department of Energy; Former President and CEO San Antonio Water System
"Cyber security has historically been a battle between an offensive capability (hack) that has generally been ahead of the defense (deny). This fact of life was made painfully aware to me while serving as Commander-In -Chief of US Strategic Command and as Security Czar for the Secretary of Energy. Today, that traditional paradigm has literally been turned upside down with the unprecedented EAL 6+ High Robustness certification by the National Security Agency for Integrity Solutions' partitioned real-time operating systems. Cyber warfare has truly emerged around the world as an operational weapon of mass disruption and Integrity's innovative technological tools have clearly put the defense of our government and commercial systems on a level of security virtually unknown up this point."

This initiative was the centerpiece of a 60 Minutes II segment in February 2000 and a CNN special in October 2000.
General Habiger is a Distinguished Fellow and Policy Adviser with the University of Georgia's Center for International Trade and Security where he assists with the Center's international programs aimed at preventing weapons proliferation and reducing nuclear dangers.
Prior to joining the Center, General Habiger was the President/CEO of the San Antonio Water System, where he was responsible for the general operations of the System along with the strategic long-range business and water resources planning for the ninth largest city in the United States. He also worked as the Department of Energy's Director of Security and Emergency Operations. As the Department's "Security Czar", he was charged by the Secretary with changing the security culture at the Energy Department and establishing a program to reenergize and restore confidence in the Department's Security Program.

Everyone must make a step regarding global security as it's a big issue.

If you actually study the evidence the best step toward Global Peace and, therefore, REAL SECURITY, is to defederalize the US government, returning to the application of the Constitution and our founding principles while hastily defunding, and prosecuting, those involved in the present system for 'security,' which is a travesty, abusing the meaning of the word. Thanks for posting. Have a lovely St. Nicholas Day.
