Community Presence

To succeed is to participate

We Believe Strongly In Freely Sharing Our Expertise & Our R&D Work Products With both Academia and the Cybersecurity Community At Large

We give to the cybersecurity community, freely, by sharing our expertise, participating in professional associations, and developing R&D cyber tools which we’ve offered the world as open source. 

TDI’s recognized cybersecurity experts have published articles (SecurityFocus, Secure Computing, etc.), lectured (ISACA, ISSA, CPM West, GE, NetScout, NACACS, ISACA International, Network Security Conference, Information Security Management Conference, InternetWorld UK, ACSAC, George Mason University, etc.), and conducted interviews (ABC, Fox News, Forbes, MSNBC, EuroNews, Financial Times, Federal News Radio, etc.) to a worldwide audience. 

Our engagement with professional cyber associations is at all levels from member at-large to board member. We participate in White Hat, ISACA, ISSA, Association of Old Crows, and many more. 

In an effort to advance cyber, TDI provides our cyber community with usable open source products and shared actionable ideas and expertise. From predictive cyber-threat meters to bootable images for safe pen-testing, TDI has given tools and expertise back to the cyber community. 

We recognize the future stars of cybersecurity are currently in the hallowed halls of learning at universities across the land. TDI has partnered with a select group of cyber-focused colleges. With Georgetown we worked together to develop a theory on detecting abhorrent behavior on a network thru mathematical modeling and pursued its realization in the SBIR program. We participated in UMD’s Bitcamp hackathon and TDI’s CEO serves on James Madison University’s STEM Executive Advisory Council. 

One example of our academic backing is TDI’s collaboration with JMU and its Dept. of Computer Science. We started the TDI/JMU Cyber Defense Fund and supported a wide-range of activities which enhanced the CS curriculum, scholarship and outreach. TDI’s Fund went towards equipment, travel, workshops, speakers, conferences and competitions like the VA Tech Cyber Capture the Flag Summit where JMU recently ranked 3rd in the competition. 

Dr. Simmons, JMU CS Dept. Head, said of us “TDI’s support of our Cyber Defense program enables cyber defense related travel and upgraded infrastructure for our program. The students benefit greatly!” TDI believes when they grow, the cyber field grows with them. 

Proud recipient of the DOL HIREVets Platinum Medallion

Every November, the nation recognizes Veterans Day to honor and thank all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces for their service to our country. Here at TDI, we are fortunate to have a number of veterans in our employ. We value our Veterans not only for their commitment and sacrifice to and for our country yet also the unique skills and contributions they bring while providing unwavering excellence to our mission. 

TDI is proud to have been recognized by the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans (HIRE Vets) Medallion Program, the only Federal award recognizing exceptional achievement in veteran employment. We are incredibly and humbly grateful to be an award recipient. More importantly, we are honored to have employees that make this award possible.
