U.S. Deputy Secretary of Commerce Bruce Andrews Discusses Upcoming Cybersecurity Trade Mission to Romania and Poland

So, I’ll be leading a Cyber Security Trade Mission with 20 U.S. technology companies who are experts in cyber security, from several very small companies to a number of very large companies and everything in between. And, our objective is to introduce these companies to cyber security leaders  in both government and business in Poland and Romania and, around Eastern Europe. We’ll be hosting a cyber security regional dialogue with countries from around Eastern Europe. We’ll be meeting with government leaders. We’ll be meeting with businesses. And, my objective in the trip is three-fold. One is to introduce U.S. companies to cyber security leaders, both government and private sector in Poland and Romania around the region. Second, is we want to help improve the cyber security of Eastern Europe because cyber security is a major issue with cyber attacks coming from both countries and from cyber criminals. And, third is we want to get deals done. We want U.S. businesses to sign deals with companies and with governments in that region to help improve their cyber security and create jobs here at home.
