“Quantico is one of the icons of national security,” said Hursti on the significance of the opening of the Quantico Cyber Hub, “and the Center itself is so needed. Until now, there has not been a singular location for those looking into election technology, for example, to utilize in finding solutions to problems affecting national security. I’m hoping this will be the place to join and meet to help tackle this problem, as well as many others.”
At the grand opening event, Voting Village will be demonstrating all the critical elements of election, including electronic poll books, ballot marking devices, paper ballot machines and touch screens.
The Cyber Bytes Foundation is committed to furthering education, outreach and innovation in the cyber domain. To accomplish this, it has launched the Quantico Cyber Hub. The Quantico Cyber Hub offers an interdisciplinary environment in which government entities (federal/local, defense, intelligence and law enforcement levels), academia and corporate entities (finance, manufacturing, infrastructure and commerce) can collaborate to identify, solve and transfer to the workforce essential innovation and training that improves the capacity of the entire cyber ecosystem to protect and respond to current and emerging cyber threats.
