Inside Look at PSA-TEC 2016

State of Industry Panel

Led by PSA President and SSI Hall of Famer Bill Bozeman, the State of the Industry pitched hot issues at (left-right) NetOne’s David Carter (also an SSI Hall of Famer), National Cyber Security Alliance’s (NCSA) Michael Kaiser, Imperial Capital’s John Mack and Chuck Wilson of the National Systems Contractors Association (NSCA).
