Cybersecurity Companies Hiring Military Experts

Former high level military experts are being tapped by private cybersecurity companies in order to improve their product, says an article in the Wall Street Journal. Hands-on simulations, or “war games,” are typically part of the package. One such program is run by a 30-year U.S. Navy veteran, who cites a principle he says has long been observed by Navy: that the best way to improve preparedness is to have a training program that mimics that real thing. The simulations are said to generate a  very high level of employee interest.
