GadgetTrak was a sponsor of this years Annual Technology for Government Reception featuring a keynote from Vinton G. Cerf, Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist for Google ( AKA “The Father of the Internet”). GadgetTrak was also featured in the Cyber Security Lounge where our latest anti-theft software was featured and demonstrated.

Hundreds of industry, congressional, and federal government executives networked at TechAmerica’s 2009 Technology for Government Reception on June 10, 2009, in Washington, DC. Additionally, in remarks to the over 350 technology leaders in attendance, keynote speaker and Google VP & Chief Internet Evangelist, Vinton Cerf, said the Internet is incomplete and still lacks many essential functions.

Cerf said stronger more widespread authentication is the key to improved cyber security, citing the ability to verify identities associated with domain names and confirm the origin of email communications as being important enhancements that would greatly extend the power and utility of the Internet.

“Vint Cerf hit on one of the critical challenges facing America,” said TechAmerica President Phil Bond. “Realizing the full benefits of the information technology revolution depends on striking the right balance between security and access. Partnership between the government and the private sector on effective cyber security is one of the best ways of achieving that balance.”
