Blount (the new CEO) has worked at USDA (US Department of Agriculture), he could use those contacts to get a second foothold in government after the DoD where almost all Intrusion's revenues come from, from the May 27 CC:
Quote:I worked at the government in an agency called the United States Department of Agriculture, which is the most misunderstood department in government. So I have to mention it just for a minute because when I got there, I really wondered why it was there. I thought about farmers, and I thought about red meat, which I eat a lot of, but I didn't know why they needed an IT expert or why they have been hacked for $300 million. Quickly found out after I got my security clearance in less than 12 hours, by the way, to top-level security that USDA does a lot more than most people think. So I'll just educate you for your own benefit as a citizen.
They actually run the 10th largest bank in the United States for the federal government. They run the 12th largest health care system in the United States for the federal government. And lo and behold, they actually do payroll for every federal employee.
- Now you also understand why it is a fertile market, both for hackers as well as for Intrusion.
