*Phoenix Aims to Become Cyber Security ValleyArizona Republic, December 29*

The Phoenix metropolitan area is transforming itself into "Cyber Security
Valley," thanks to a concerted effort by successful tech security leaders
and government agencies. Metro Phoenix will be joining the ranks of a few
other well-known tech destinations such as Silicon Valley as it attempts to
capitalize on the buzz surrounding cyber security. The hope is that the
creation of Cyber Security Valley will help attract talented professionals
and recent college graduates to work in Greater Phoenix, as well as help to
highlight local tech businesses that are helping to combat cyber intrusions.

Phoenix is a growing center for cyber solutions for the national and
international epidemic of cyber warfare, intellectual property theft,
identity theft and data breach. Numerous leaders from public and private
sectors inside and outside the state, including elected officials,
university presidents and corporate CEOs, along with the city of Phoenix
and numerous other cities in the region, have been involved in getting
Cyber Security Valley off the ground. And these efforts have been given
additional impetus by the fact that the Federal Trade Commission has
recognized Arizona as one of the Top 10 states for ID theft victims over
the last decade.
