Take Our Defense and Cybersecurity Survey Today!

From small, family owned industries to multi-national corporations, Florida wins when private-sector job growth aligns with employer needs. Florida’s well-rounded military and defense industry creates highly-trained, highly-skilled workers each and every day and is the fourth largest contributor to Florida’s economy. Additionally, cyber threats are increasing in frequency, scale, and sophistication. Florida’s business community and government must work together to address expanding cybersecurity threats.
