Cyber Election Threats Boost Cyber
Career Interest
Awareness of cyber attacks in the run-up to the
U.S. presidential election helped grow the number
of young adults more likely to pursue a career in
cybersecurity, according to Securing Our Future:
Closing the Cybersecurity Talent Gap, a new survey commissioned by Raytheon and the National
Cyber Security Alliance.

The patented Cognitive Microwave Radar (CMR)
technology is designed to deter, detect and defend
against unlawful use of weapons in private buildings, sports venues, schools, transportation hubs,
entertainment facilities, clubs and other public and
private venues and facilities.
Early stage trial devices are currently advancing to
prototypes slated for pilot use in a number of Canadian and US facilities by year end.
Sales orders are anticipated to commence in mid2017. Patriot One has further entered into agreements with certain law enforcement partners in
order to collect weapons signature data for use in
the Company’s rapidly growing proprietary NForce
weapons detection library.
Designed for cost-effective deployment in weaponrestricted buildings and facilities, NForce CMR1000
can be installed in hallways and doorways to covertly identify weapons and to alert security of an
active threat entering the premises – effectively
combatting active shooter threats before they occur.
Patriot One’s motto Deter, Detect and Defend is
based on the belief that widespread use of its technology will act as an effective deterrent, thereby
diminishing the epidemic phenomena of active
shooters across the nation.
