Federal IT Security Conference

Join us for the third annual Federal IT Security Conference (FITSC) at the Samuel Riggs Alumni Center at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD on November 7, 2018. The Federal IT Security Institute (FITSI) in partnership with Phoenix TS in Columbia, MD annually hosts the Federal IT Security Conference. Speakers from NIST, DHS, the Defense Department as well as private industry attend to discuss the themes and trends that are influencing the Federal/DoD cyber landscape.

All proceeds from the event go to helping retrain Wounded Warriors to become cyber defenders at the Wounded Warrior Cyber Combat Academy. 

Who is a Wounded Warrior?
Wounded warriors are military service members who have suffered a serious life altering injury, both in combat and non-combat situations, that typically ends their ability to continue to serve on active duty as determined through normal Medical Evaluation Board/Physical Evaluation Board processes. Most are returning service men and women who have served in combat environments such as Iraq or Afghanistan. Each of the four services (Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines) supports their wounded warriors in different ways. For example, the Army runs the U.S. Army Wounded Warrior Program (AW2), the Marines run the Wounded Warrior Regiment, the Air Force runs the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program (AFW2), and the Navy has the Safe Harbor program.
