Senator Bond Visits Enterprise Center
 U.S. Senator Christopher "Kit" Bond recently visited St. Louis Enterprise Centers - West County for TechGuard Security's launch of PoliWall Q, a network security appliance.
"The recent attacks against our government networks underscore the very real threat of cyber terrorism," Bond said. "The innovative work being developed at TechGuard Security is vital to our defense against cyber attacks." Last year, Senator Bond supported $2 million for R&D of TechGuard's innovative cybersecurity solutions.
"The launch of the PoliWall Q will be a tremendous asset to our national defense networks, and we are especially proud to have such a high-caliber company like TechGuard housed in one of our St. Louis Enterprise Centers," said St. Louis County Executive Charlie A. Dooley. |
