USara Sorcher, usekela mhleli wombulali omtsha we-cybersecurity blog Passcode, epapashwe ibali elibalulekileyo malunga nokukhawuleza kwegolide ukuba ube yindawo ephezulu yezobuchwephesha kwezobuchwephesha. UNks Sorcher akazange aye kude ngokwaneleyo ukuba abhengeze umoyisi kumlo wolawulo lwe-cybersecurity, kodwa siza kuyenza ngovuyo.
YiWashington D.C., ixesha. IWashington ineekhontrakthi zikarhulumente kunye ne-mega-corporation eziphumelelayo. Banetalente, amaziko emikhosi, kwaye badwelisa Kabini imisebenzi emininzi njengaye nawuphi na omnye umntu okhuphisana naye kwisithuba. Inye kuphela into abangenayo, nangona kunjalo ligama-elithandekayo, eli-buzzy, negama lesidlaliso esisidenge lokutsala indawo kunye. Ukusuka kwikhowudi yokudlula:
I-Silicon Valley, umzekelo, ikwanayo ne-moniker ebambekayo, kodwa ingingqi ye-Greater Washington, [iGreater Washington Board of Trade CEO u-Jim Dinegar] ithi, ayilususi ulwimi- kwaye [abantu] abanakuthetha nto malunga noku ngaphandle kokuba likhaya likarhulumente.
Ukoyisa umngeni wokuthengisa uphawu, uDinegar waqesha inkampani yonxibelelwano, ese-Washington esekwe APCO kwihlabathi liphela, ukuphuhlisa uluhlu olubanzi lweeasethi zommandla wonke kunye nokuphuhlisa isicwangciso sokuthengisa esicacileyo sokukhuthaza lo mmandla njengoko, ngokudibeneyo, ikhaya lesizwe lokhuseleko.
Kodwa ngaba i-moniker ebambekayo ivele kwezi nzame zexabiso lokuthengisa uphawu? Hayi.
Ngoku, bekukho iinzame ezilunge kakhulu ngaphambili: kufanelekile ukububula Intaba yeSilicon . Kodwa ngaphandle kwenyani yokuba iinduli zimbi nje kwaye azonwabisi-imeko yaseBoulder, eColorado iba yiNtaba yeSilicon yonke-oko kuthetha ukuba zonke ezona zinto zibalulekileyo kwindawo yeDC zivela kwi-Capital Hill, xa uninzi lwe-cyber-bustle iyenzeka kwimigca yedolophu eMaryland naseVirginia, amazwe amabini angenakuyeka ukuphikisana ngokuba leliphi elona lilungileyo kuqaliso lokhuselo lwe-cyber (umbhuqi: yiVirginia). Unokwenza imeko yokuba izivumelwano zikarhulumente kunye nokusondela kubaphathiswa bezomthetho kuyinxalenye yesizathu sokuba uBooz Allen, uLokheed kunye neqela likummelwane ukuqala, kodwa ke kuya kufaneleka ngakumbi ukubiza indawo yeSilicon Lobby.
Ngaphandle koko, iAustin, eTexas ibizwa ngokuba yiSilicon Hills (isininzi), kwaye unikezwe ukuba u-Austin ubulala isihlalo sobukhosi kwi-cybersecurity, ukhetha igama elifanayo alinakukwenza. Umgxobhozo weSilicon unokufaneleka, kodwa Leyo yeyaseGainesville, eFlorida , kuba ukusingatha ikomkhulu laseGrooveshark kwanele ukuthethelela imeko, ngokucacileyo.
Ke yintoni eseleyo, emva koko? Intlambo yePentagon? INqaba yeSilicon? Sibuze uRick Gordon, oqhuba isantya sokukhusela i-cybersecurity uMach37, ukuba akukho nto ayivileyo malunga nemoniker efanelekileyo.
Malunga nonyaka ophelileyo, ndizamile ukwenza igama lekhorido phakathi kweDulles neColumbia njenge 'Cyber Beltway,' utshilo uMnu Gordon nge-imeyile. Ufumene irhashalala @ & /! kubahlobo bam kwaye khange ihlale.
Mhlawumbi iDC ayifuni isiteketiso. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, iMassachusetts kunye namaziko ayo obuchwephesha kwezempilo bahlala beyintamo kunye nentamo kunye ne-NYC kutyalo-mali lwe-VC, kwaye akukho mntu uzama ukubiza iBoston 'Silicon Lab' okanye 'iSilicon Hellhole' okanye 'iSilicon inferiority-Complex' — uxolo, Ngaba i-NYC yam ibonisa?
Ngaphandle koko, igama leSilicon luphawu olonakalisiweyo. I-Silicon Valley isandula ukuba sisandla esifutshane se-VC yokunyusa, inkcubeko yesini yokuzibandakanya, ii -apps ezingenamsebenzi kunye nezicwangciso zeshishini ezingenanto. Mhlawumbi iWashington D.C., kunye nehlobo layo elibuhlungu, ukuhamba kakhulu koluntu, ukuzibhiyozela, amagama eqela lobuhlanga kunye nokudinisa kakhulu-kodwa, kwakhona, ngaphambili abanetalente-intatheli, ayifuni naluphi na uphawu lophawu kwilifa lenkcubeko elibi.
