The IT Security Entrepreneurs Forum was founded by Robert D. Rodriguez, and dedicated to the international advocacy and promotion of mutually beneficial relationships between public-sector officials, private-sector entrepreneurs, law enforcement, principal investigators and private industry.

This Public Private Partnership initiative is designed to "bridge the gap" between IT security solution providers and the end users of our nation's IT and Telecommunications critical infrastructures. The ITSEF believes that innovative solutions developed by entrepreneurs' can best be promoted through collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors.

A key component to the success of such relationships is to identify and bring together public and private sector "change agents" who can drive education and awareness programs through forums that will promote lasting and permanent relationships between all levels of government and the full range of emerging and established private sector companies.
