In the face of growing concerns over cyber terrorism and intellectual property theft, the mission to protect the nation’s vital defense technologies has become more complex than ever.

On December 17th, Hudson Institute hosted a presentation by Ms. McCormick on securing today’s and tomorrow’s defense technologies. She shared her unparalleled knowledge of the needs and means to protect this vital aspect of the nation’s security and strategic posture. Hudson Senior Fellow Arthur Herman moderated the event.
