Meets with Premier Steven Marshall, Touts Maryland as “Cyber Capital of America” at Cybersecurity Conference
ANNAPOLIS, MD—Governor Larry Hogan began the Adelaide portion of his infrastructure and economic development mission to Australia by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with South Australian Premier Steven Marshall to foster strong economic and security ties, particularly in the cybersecurity and satellite technologies sectors. The signing followed a speech by Governor Hogan at a major cybersecurity conference, where he talked about Maryland’s standing as the “Cyber Capital of America.”
“America and Australia have fought side-by-side in every conflict for the past 100 years, but our mateship is also rooted in our shared vision for the future, and that vision depends upon us confronting common threats,” said Governor Hogan. “There are incredible things being done here in South Australia when it comes to aerospace, defense, and cybersecurity, and the state of Maryland shares many of these very same strengths. Through collaboration and cooperation, we can better address the rapidly emerging and evolving cybersecurity challenges facing our nation and the world.”
