Harris Corporation's Dale Meyerrose to Address Rocky Mountain Chapter of AFCEA on October 15 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado, October 8, 2009 — Retired Major General Dale Meyerrose (USAF), the first chief information officer of the Intelligence Community and now vice president and general manager for Cyberspace Solutions at Harris Corporation (NYSE:HRS), will address the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association on October 15 at Petersen Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Meyerrose, a strong advocate of the need to make cyberspace a trusted domain for both government and private sectors, will speak about his experience as CIO for the Intelligence Community and his views on cyberspace security, which he believes must become a national priority. "Cyberspace underpins virtually every aspect of our lives these days, from large networks and grids for our government and commercial institutions to our ATM machines and the light switches on the wall," explains Meyerrose. "If you are on line, you are both a target and a threat. Cyberspace-related priorities may soon become on par with our defense and intelligence missions." A world leader in cyber security, Harris has been using state-of-the-art technology assessment techniques and architecture engineering for decades to define and operate secure networks supporting nationally critical programs. Today, Harris supports three of the nation's largest secure networks, including the FAA Telecommunications Infrastructure, the National Reconnaissance Office network, and the Navy Marine Corps Intranet. The company's technology countermeasures and monitoring capabilities proactively safeguard vital information assets supporting the missions of U.S. military, intelligence, transportation, and commerce customers. Harris recently expanded its cyber security capabilities with the acquisition of Crucial Security, Inc., a premier provider of cyberspace solutions for law enforcement and intelligence agencies. In addition, Harris recently signed an agreement with McAfee, the world's largest dedicated enterprise security technology company, to resell their products and technical services to the federal government.
