Educate Advocate Support  Call 2008 the year that cyberspace—its vulnerability, its defense, and its exploitation—passed the point of no return as a major issue for national security officials. Rebecca Grant, Director, Mitchell Institute   The United States is the most vulnerable nation on the face of the Earth to cyber attack for a simple reason—we are the most dependent. Michael McConnell, Director of National Intelligence  The success of many business enterprises will depend on the degree to which the available pool of workers possesses the right combination of science, technology, and engineering skills. Bill Gates, Congressional Testimony 2 Why?

Educate Advocate Support  The USAF needs the cyber warriors who can secure the domain as the indispensible prerequisite for air and space dominance   American industry needs secure networks to compete and security providers reasonably expect an expanding, lucrative market  The linchpin of future network security is education of enough U.S. professionals to meet the expanding requirement – the source of that educated workforce must be students motivated to pursue a career in computer science  The Air Force Association Educates the public, Advocates for and Supports the U.S. Air Force, the Air Force family and aerospace education – Aerospace = Air, Space, and Cyberspace! 3 Why?
