Cyber Security References
ALN Director, Technology, Nick Knoke, thought it would be a good idea to compile current cybersecurity articles, sources, and other content into an ongoing document as a resource for our organizational members and supporters. ALN Patron Member Kimon Onuma agreed and provided additional material to what Mr. Knoke found. The initial material is at this link. It includes a link to register for the grand opening of the American Cyber League Innovation & Technology Cyber Labs in Stafford, Va. on Sept 23. Please send your favorite and most useful cybersecurity references to info@AssetLeadership.net and we will keep an updated version on our web site.
