“We are grateful for the generosity of the Digital Defense team as we continue to support the military community during these challenging times,” said PenFed Foundation President and retired U.S. Army Gen. John “Mick” Nicholson, Jr. “This timely donation will be used to further the Foundation’s vision of service members being able to serve our nation free of financial worry and veterans living with a strong financial future.”

“Digital Defense applauds the work that the PenFed Foundation is doing to support military families across the country, especially during a time when there is an increased need for assistance,” said Larry Hurtado, president and CEO of Digital Defense. “The military is an integral part of our community, and we are fortunate to have many veteran employees whose experience in their service roles is invaluable in helping our client oganizations defend against cyber attacks. We are pleased to partner with PenFed in giving back to the service members and veterans who safeguard our nation.”
