Hackers are getting more sophisticated and harder to combat. Thats likely the message most midshipmen took away with them after a lecture Jan. 14 by Kevin Mandia, founder and chief executive officer of the cybersecurity consulting firm Mandiant, which was recently acquired by FireEye, Inc. A former Air Force intelligence officer, Mandia founded the company to help organizations detect and respond to computer intrusions. Calling on more than 15 years of experience in the cybersecurity field, Mandia gave the midshipmen realworld examples of hacking activity to show them how its done and, more importantly, how its detected.

The Navy Operational Fitness and Fueling System (NOFFS) is an evidence-based performance tool that will address injury prevention by physically training operational job movement patterns. Rather than focusing specifically on the physical readiness test, NOFFS emphasizes how to specifically improve the functional performance of a sailor during daily operations, including lifting, pushing, pulling, carrying, aerobic/anaerobic demands, body movement skills with balance, agility and coordination. Additionally, NOFFS provides nutrition guidance. For more info, call MWR Annapolis Fitness at 410-293-9211 or 9226.
