ractically every field from medicine to education, finances to online shopping is affected by the need to ensure that personal, institutional
and corporate information is protected and that those who are active on the Internet do not fall victim to predators and scammers. That’s what In- ternet security involves. It also includes domestic
and international intelligence related to protection and defense. Outlined in a conversation with USBE&IT magazine, inventor Jesse E. Russell talks about how cellular networks will respond in the future to the wildly voracious demands of highly expectant wireless communications users. For Darnell Washington, anticipating national security and cyber threats is both business, and a family legacy. As founder and CEO of an information secu- rity risk management company, the firm gets paid for being a little paranoid. It is money well-earned. In 2012 the
Georgia Tech Information Security Center projects that hackers will target mobile de- vices, cloud computing, personal information and search engines. Last September, Syman- tec Corp. reported that global cybercrime costs $114 billion annually. Washington, 47, is a second-generation
cryptographer. In 1962, his father, a Morgan State College grad, was one of the first math- ematicians recruited by the National Security Agency from a historically black school. He spent 30-plus years there, became a senior executive and represented the agency at the Department of Defense. Retired Air Force Gen. Lester L. Lyles calls his rise to the very top of the U.S. military establishment the result of a career of hard work and a determina- tion to do every task as well as possible. Along the way, he said, mentors and opportunities appeared to help him along. In this Homeland Security and Defense issue of USBE&IT magazine, we bring you the latest chapter in the careers of officers in aviation, armor, infantry, military intelligence, and civilian life. Almost a hundred commissioned officers are featured in USBE&IT magazine’s Top Blacks in the Military roll call. They may be in different services and on different paths, but all have one thing in common: exciting and rewarding careers in the United States Armed Forces.
