Maryland Poaches Up-and-Coming Cybersecurity Startup From Virginia
Founded in Vienna, Va., Bricata is part of a growing cybersecurity talent pool that has manifested itself in Northern Virginia. After watching Northern Virginia become the growth capital of this sector for some time, the state of Maryland has moved to capture a piece of the ever-important cybersecurity market. Earlier this week, Bricata was crowned the winner of the Defense & Security category in the 2015 InvestMaryland Challenge — winning a $100,000 state grant and an Army Research Lab Incubator Opportunity from the state of Maryland. Now the company will be moving to Maryland with big plans for 2015.
The $100,000 will be immediately used to hire a larger staff, sign an office lease and further develop Bricata Threat Exchange (BTX), Bricata CEO and co-founder John Trauth told DC Inno. BTX is a cloud infrastructure platform that provides highly scalable systems that will isolate and process suspected cyberthreat data.
The Army Research Lab (ARL) Incubator Opportunity will enable Bricata to use laboratory space at the Adelphi Laboratory Center for one year beginning in June 2015. It also means that ARL will negotiate a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Bricata. While the incubator opportunity means that Bricata will be offered a host of utilities and a collaborative co-working space, the most advantageous aspect of the program may be its direct network to collaborate with Army scientists and engineers.
“We believe the interaction with the Army scientists and engineers to be the most strategic aspect of the opportunity. Being exposed to these folks will undoubtedly spur innovation, thought leadership, and provide direction of where the market is headed, both Federally as well as Commercially,” Trauth told DC Inno
Trauth said that the company recently secured a lease with bwtech@UMBC, University of Baltimore County’s research & technology park. The startup will be opening its office in Baltimore, Md., on June 1. In addition, Trauth said that, “If sales materialize like we think they will, we will be hiring 16 new full time employees by the end of 2015. These will be folks involved in Sales, both Inside and Outside, Pre-Sales Engineers, BTX Engineers, and Code Developers.”

Why this cybersecurity startup is moving from Virginia to Maryland
Bricata will move into the bwtech@UMBC incubator next month. CEO John Trauth sees access to capital and help that he didn't see in Virginia.
But as of June 1, Bricata’s home state will change. The seven-employee company is moving its headquarters to the bwtech@UMBC cyber incubator in Baltimore County.
The company was founded in July, 2014, as the four cofounders saw an opportunity to produce network security systems that leveraged the open-source platform Suricata to perform faster and capture more data than current technology allows.
Like many early-stage companies, CEO John Trauth sees money as a key in growing. Since CTO Iain Davison spent two years developing Bricata in his basement, the startup is at the phase where they have what Trauth called a “fairly mature” product. Now, they want to build out the product to the point where it is a full on “threat exchange,” expand sales capabilities and, in connection with both of those, bring on new employees.
“It’s a living thing, and you have to keep feeding it if you want to grow,” Trauth said.
To get access to that food, Trauth thinks Maryland is the best place for the company to be right now. Along with winning $100,000 from the InvestMaryland Challenge, Trauth recently heard from Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development Mike Gill.

Every day, kids in Maryland are at risk. These are kids who slip through the cracks, kids who, if given appropriate and individualized support, can be successful. That problem is one that a team at UMBC is trying to address through the Choice Program. The program’s mission is two-fold: it strives to invoke change and inspiration into lives of Maryland’s at-risk youth, and it also helps recent UMBC graduates become agents of change in our community.
“Every child of any race needs that village, that community to support him or her,” says UMBC president Dr. Freeman Hrabowski. That village is what Choice tries to provide through initiatives like the Intensive Advocacy Program (IAP), which provides a cost-efficient and effective alternative to the incarceration of youth. Through this program Choice partners with the Department of Juvenile Services to provide services like around-the-clock crisis intervention, legal advocacy, curfew checks, and structural and educational activities. Additionally, the Choice Program strives to keep children out of foster care by preserving the family unit through intensive mediation and informal counseling.
Through a partnership with the Baltimore City Department of Social Services, the program provides parental support; links to individual, group, and family counseling; and educational support services such as school visits, attendance monitoring, and school visits.
Another initiative is the Choice Jobs Program, which gives teens and young adults real-world work experience at the Choice Program’s Flying Fruit Fantasy stand in Camden Yards, kiosk in the Inner Harbor, and cafe at the University of Baltimore Law School. In addition to on-the-job learning, Choice staff also provide participants with individual and group readiness training by teaching time management, job search and interviewing skills, and much more.
At the same time that these programs are providing much-needed support for Maryland’s at-risk youth, they’re also offering unique opportunities for UMBC graduates through the Choice Service Learning Fellowship. The Fellowship provides young professionals a launching pad for their careers by way of a stipend, extensive training, and professional experience. Instead of a job, Fellows are given a chance to learn about the environment and lifestyles of Maryland youth and how to bridge the gap between community, education, and the corporate world.
“The Choice Program takes experiential learning to the next level,” says Choice Program director LaMar Davis. “Our Community Service Learning Fellows are effecting real and meaningful change to our communities, while learning and becoming the next change agents who will lead our state in the 21st Century.”
The Choice Program at UMBC is effecting real change in our community, and they need your help to continue their critical work. Whether you give of your time and talent as a volunteer, or make a monetary donation to the program, your support will make a real and lasting impact on Maryland’s youth.

If one of your questions isn't answered below, feel free to comment or email gbumbc@gmail.com for more info!
Why is there a trip application?
Simply put-- financial limitations and logistical limitations. We have grown exponentially as an organization during the last two years and are facing new problems along with that amazing growth. We have capped all the programs' brigade volunteers so that, at most, we are looking at mobilizing 150 volunteers to travel, and estimating 100 at the very least. As a closed student organization, we created caps because we can only afford to bus so many students to and from campus to the airport(s) we'll be using for travel, and that has to be feasible amount for us to fundraise (we're looking at around $4,000 for this brigade cycle).
But also, if for some reason we got all that transportation money donated to us, there are logistical reasons for the caps. The leadership team feels somewhat responsible for all of our members while on brigades, and to ensure everyone can easily be kept track of, we have to limit the amount of people on these trips. Also, there is a limit to how many people we can take and still deliver efficient service. We don't want to overwhelm the community with a bunch of volunteers and we also don't want our volunteers to feel like they aren't doing much because tasks get spread too thin among brigade volunteers.
Dental/Medical cap: 25-50 people
All other programs: 25 people
When is the application due?
The application is currently open and can be found in the "Documents" section of our myUMBC group page. It is one application for ALL programs.
The final due date, unless otherwise stated by your program director, is Wednesday, September 9th, 2015 at 11:59PM.
How can I make sure my application is the best it can be?
Hint: Essay portions will be more important than any other section. So before you write, reflect on why this organization is important to you, what you want to get out of participating with us, and make sure you understand the mission and vision of Global Brigades for better context. (see www.globalbrigades.org for a refresher)
Hint: Proof-read. It will leave an impression if your basic grammar and syntax is off or if there are a lot of little mistakes. We will expect you care enough to proof-read your work and make it sound professional and appropriate, but also personalized!
Who reviews the trip applications?
The GB UMBC Executive Board which includes all the program directors, the executive officers (Campus Chairperson, Alumni Director, and Media Director) and our GB Faculty Advisor will be collectively reviewing applications during a special executive board meeting.
There is a set process for reviewing applications as well as a rubric used for initial sorting. If you have further questions, email gbumbc@gmail.com and/or your program director.
When will I know the results of my application?
By the third week of September, at the latest.As the the application cycle ends, you will be notified of the results of your application and will accept your trip membership by signing your program contract that outlines financial commitment and participation, or understand that you did not get chosen for this brigade cycle, or have the option to be involved in a different program's brigade trip or wait-listed for your first choice program.
What are my options if I am not chosen for my program's brigade trip?
On the application you have the option of choosing a 2nd or 3rd choice brigade trip. For example, you are applying for the Public Health program's brigade but if you didn't get a trip member spot for that, you'd also love to be a part of Human Rights of Microfinance because you have interest in those programs too.
On the app, you can pick (or not pick) these 2nd and 3rd choice options. Should you be picked for your 2nd or 3rd choice program though and accept that trip membership, you must also commit to being a member of that program for this brigade cycle--attending meetings, helping fundraise, etc. This is because we only allow you to be a member of one brigade program per brigade cycle because of how involved planning and prepping for brigades can be.
If you don't want to do any of the above, you can continue to support the brigade through helping with fundraisers and events, collecting donations, and being informed about Global Brigades mission and work!
Hopefully, this gives you a better understanding of our trip application. Remember, you must be ready to financially commit to the trip to feasibly apply. That doesn't mean you have all the money now, but that you are confident you can pay for the trip by the deadlines.

This course, constructed around proactive student-participation, examines the historical backdrop and contemporary development of cultural policy in the United States, especially in relation to the practical problem of achieving cultural equity within the public and private institutions of a continuously-evolving multi-cultural political democracy and intersections with growing transnational cultural identities. Special attention is paid to the cultural democracy citizen-protagonists’ dynamics and policy projects of certain periods and to interactions between the official cultural institutions and various racial and ethnic groups, of cultural areas and regions and of socio-economic classes---including gender identity and sexual identity policies.
Reading, lecture-discussion and illustrative cultural materials embrace intellectual and artistic strategies reflected in the graphic and plastic arts, dance, music, literature and various segments of popular culture. Analytical perspectives draw upon the disciplines of history, cultural heritage policy, anthropology, folklore, and political science/Participatory Democracy.
Schedule: Wednesdays 7:10 pm - 9:40 pm
Prerequisite: Graduate standing. To register this course, you need to obtain permission from your LLC advisor.
