Internationally-recognized cyber security and counterterrorism expert coming to Tampa

TAMPA, Fla. - Jan. 24, 2014 - PRLog -- Battlefield Cyber: The True Nature of Cyber Warfare is the topic and Richard A. Clarke will be the presenter when this internationally-recognized expert presents to business and military professionals in Tampa on February 4, 2014.  Clarke is currently Executive Advisor for Cyber Security and Counterterrorism at SRA International, Inc. as well as an on-air consultant for ABC News.  His new book, Cyber War: The Next Threat to National Security and What to Do About It, addresses new threats to national and individual security.

Issues of cyber security have been news highlights recently as they affect everyone from individuals to major corporations to national border and safety professionals. Clarke, whose book, Against All Enemies: Inside America's War on Terror—What Really Happened made him a New York Times best-selling author, became a controversial figure with his criticism of the war on terror and testimony to the 9/11 Commission.

Hosted by the Greater Tampa Bay Chapter of Women In Defense (WID GTB) and sponsored by SRA International, the luncheon, presentation and book signing are open to all and will be held on Tuesday, February 4, 2014, at 11:30 a.m. at the Renaissance Hotel-International Mall.
