Hypothetical Cyber-Terrorism Attack This Morning on the U.S.

   In conjunction with Cisco, RSA, MaXware, Enterasys, and other leading
   technology firms, Getronics Government Solutions is launching two days
   of cyber-terrorism attacks on the United States, beginning this morning.
   This simulation involves orchestrating and integrating a response and
   recovery involving the DoD and the State Department, as well as several
   civilian agencies, to include law enforcement. This attack, and
   countermeasures applied, is a realistic scenario of what can happen in
   today's environment and what could be done to mitigate such a threat.

   Getronics Government Solutions is the leading industry provider of
   secure solutions that include servers, desktops, mobile workstations,
   printers, scanners, storage devices, switches, routers, thin clients,
   and secure video conferencing.
