NCSAM was created in 2003 by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and National Cyber Security Alliance to ensure everyone has the resources they need to stay safe and secure online. The goal of NCSAM is to increase the awareness of the ever-evolving cybersecurity landscape and bring attention to different steps people can take to protect their information.

By 2020 – a mere three years from now – research has projected there will be more than 20 billion connected devices on the planet. That’s an average of roughly four per person, ranging from tablets to eyeglasses and houses to cars.

We have been spending time this year at technology events that are taking place on US military bases, usually in partnership with HP or Dell, to make sure our customers are aware of newer products such as our DataPort DP27. For the next couple of weeks, we’ll be in Germany at a variety of events on US bases located there.
