One new article link has been added to our Related News page. The Montgomery Advertiser published an article titled Conference focuses on cyber security.

At the Air Force Information Technology Conference on Monday, Airman 1st Class Matthew Miyake was armed with a laptop.

On a flat-screen monitor, Miyake brought up the webpage for a mock bank, “Hacme Bank.” With a few mouse clicks, Miyake showed passersby how a hacker might get customers’ information from an ill-prepared site. It was an interesting, if not unsettling, display.

The job of Miyake’s unit, Application Software Assurance Center of Excellence at Maxwell Air Force Base, Gunter Annex, is to teach other programmers within the Air Force how to be more secure, Miyake said.
