NORTH LIBERTY — Two engineers from ProCircular, an 11-month-old North Liberty cybersecurity and privacy firm, spent the better part of a week at DEFCON, one of the oldest and largest hacker conventions.
A small portion of their trip was paid for by the Iowa Industrial New Jobs Training program that lawmakers created to increase worker productivity and help in new job creation. Their boss, ProCircular owner and CEO Aaron Warner, would like the federal government to make similar resources available so firms like his can meet the needs of businesses, manufacturers, food distributors, health care providers and schools in the rapidly evolving world of cybersecurity.
