Captain Steve “Doc” Simon, USN, Director, USNA Center for Cyber Security Studies

Greetings Atlanta Area Alumni,
We have a terrific speaker slated for the Chapter’s November luncheon on Friday, November 16, 2012..
Captain Steve “Doc” Simon, USN, Director of the USNA Center for Cyber Security Studies, will be in Atlanta visiting GA Tech the week of November 12, 2012.  Doc Simon has agreed to extend his stay in Atlanta to speak at the Chapter’s November luncheon scheduled for Friday, November 16, 2012.
Literally everything we do, whether it’s flying an airplane or getting a ship under way or sending a Marine out to the field, has some cyber implications, whether it’s merely crypto loaded into a radio so they can communicate securely or the mission that a battle group conducts.
— CAPT Steven Simon, Director, Center for Cyber Security Studies
To all USNA alumni, this is an excellent opportunity to learn first hand about ongoing Naval Academy’s Cyber Warfare initiatives.
Please plan to attend and bring a guest to this opportunity to hear directly from the Naval Academy’s expert on Cyber Warfare.
Ed Brownlee
Luncheon Venue:  Sheraton Suites Galleria – Atlanta;  2844 Cobb Parkway SE, Atlanta, Georgia 30339
