Hawaii’s Future is Cyber Secure

Cyber security is one of our nation’s most significant concerns.  The U.S. Department of Defense’s establishment of Cyber as a war-fighting combatant command is a telling statement about our nation’s need to play both offense and defense in the protection of our national security.

Cyber risks affect all aspects of our lives from utilities (power & water), telecommunications, fuel, health care, transportation and financial services. Cyber-attacks can cripple state and county governments, as well as Hawaii’s main industries – tourism, defense and construction.

Hawaii is becoming a growing force in cybersecurity startups and leadership. The strong military presence in the state of Hawaii has been a driving factor for the cybersecurity public and private sector. With support from the University of Hawaii and the Future Focus conference, this CyberHawaii annual event bring top cybersecurity leaders and attendees together to create a future for cyber security.
