Description
In this edition of Newsmakers, we visit the opening of the Cyber Security Lab at the Virginia Tech Research Center in Ballston. The Cyber Security Lab is a partnership between VA Tech and the private sector national security firm L3. The facility is yet another step in making the Ballston high tech corridor the center of 21st century national security research and technology.
A
B
Tech
is
one
of
the
premier
research
institutions
in
the
country.
Arlington
county
has
enjoyed
a
tremendous
relationship
with
virginia
tech
over
the
years
we
partner
with
them
in
areas
such
as
emergency
management
in
public
safety,
and
this
is
one
more
in
a
series
of
innovative
measures
being
taken
by
Virginia
Tech
in
partnership
with
l3.
C
This
is
a
big
move
for
us.
We
worked
really
hard
for
many
years
to
bring
Virginia
Tech
into
arlington
into
the
heart
of
the
research
largest
scientific
research
cluster
in
the
united
states,
and
now
they
are
doing
what
we
hope
they
would
do,
which
is
partner
with
private
industry,
to
really
increase
the
power
and
presence
of
Virginia
Tech,
but
also
expand
the
ability
of
Arlington
to
be
a
major
presence
in
cybersecurity
and
all
kinds
of
scientific
research.
We.
D
Expect
to
have
over
100
employees
here
the
silt
at
their
hyun
facility,
doing
advanced
research
and
technology
development
in
the
cybersecurity
arena.
Protection
of
our
information,
protection
of
our
resources
and
assets
as
a
country
is
the
primary
issue
that
we're
focused
on.
We
know
that
we're
going
to
have
attacks
thousands
of
attacks,
but
the
ability
to
control
that
attack
and
make
sure
that
they
get
we
don't
get
they
don't
get
where
we
don't
want
them
to
be
is
what
this
is
about.
E
Cybersecurity
is
the
most
important
challenge
facing
our
national
security
today,
we're
going
to
put
our
best
minds
and
our
most
money
towards
it,
whatever
it
takes,
and
this
now
in
Arlington
will
be
the
center
of
meeting
that
cyber
security
challenge.
This
is
what
this
Boston
technology
partner
was
all
about.
This
is
a
very
important
component,
because
the
rest
of
the
world
is
dependent
on
our
being
successful,
and
so
the
rest
of
the
world's
eyes
are
going
to
be
focused
on
right
here
in
Arlington,
and
what
these
great
minds
are
able
to
accomplish.
The.
F
Future
is
the
knowledge-based
economy
and
with
these
every
building
and
every
company
and
every
organization
and
institution
that
comes
here,
we
add
to
that
more
and
more
and
we're
really
building
a
very
strong
knowledge
based
economy,
which
is
what's
going
to
take
us
into
the
21st
and
actually
the
22nd
century.
That's.
