Engineering-based security and supply chain protection are top priorities and essential to national and economic security.

Trustworthy secure systems do not happen without engineering discipline.

They must be built with intention.

Capability... Intent... Targeting...

The three criteria used to assess an adversary.

It's both a national and economic security concern.

Saluting our veterans on this very special day.
Thank you for your selfless service to our great Nation.
It is because of you that we live in freedom today.
Freedom is the greatest gift you can give to the next generation.
