Ruppersberger To Tour Local Cyber Start-Ups

(Timonium, MD) – Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) on Monday will tour Baltimore businesses that are contributing to the region’s growing reputation as the “cyber capital of the world.” Congressman Ruppersberger will see first-hand the local impact of federal cyber policy and investment. 

Congressman Ruppersberger will be touring Maddrix, one of only seven companies nation-wide accredited by the National Security Agency to respond to cyber attacks on federal databases. He will also visit ZeroFOX, a company that identifies and prevents social media-based cyber attacks, as well as RedOwl Analytics, which has developed a product that can detect suspicious digital behavior. 

Collectively, these three companies have added more than 100 jobs this year and secured about $40 million in outside investment. They are among more than 11,000 companies in Maryland that create products and services to protect against cyber attacks.
