On July 19, as much of the world slept, dreaded “blue screens of death” flickered across computer screens in Australia. Whatever was happening — and no one was sure at first— grounded flights, knocked broadcasters off the air, and disrupted businesses. It was the start of what is considered “the largest IT outage in history." ??

At MxD, we honor and appreciate our veterans beyond Veterans Day. We want to take a moment to honor and appreciate our veteran teammates at MxD. Your dedication, commitment, and unique skills bring immense value to our team and our advanced manufacturing work! Michael T., Director of Cyber, said, “The skills and discipline you learn in the military are directly translatable to any civilian endeavor. The importance of working to or exceeding a standard. Preparing to deal with both what is expected and unexpected. Using your judgment and initiative when faced with unusual circumstances." At MxD, we believe that manufacturing is a place where those skills shine. Your contributions lead to real, tangible results, creating a genuine sense of accomplishment. Thank you to all our veterans for your service and for enriching our team with your expertise.

On the heels of Veterans Day, we're proud that our cybersecurity expert, Sam Moyer, was profiled by Manufacturing USA! Sam is our Lead Cybersecurity Engineer. He said playing with LEGOs during childhood helped prepare him for a career in cybersecurity — in both, a missing part may set you back but invites problem-solving. Sam does everything from teaching people about cybersecurity to building new security systems. Before joining MxD, Sam spent over 11 years on active duty supporting the United States Air Force and United States Space Force.
