It plans to hire two more within the next 60-90 days to help deal with its increasing work load.The 4-year-old firm is helping manufacturers learn the ropes of becoming a government contractor. That basically means teaching them the ins and outs of the Internet Traffic Arms Regulations so they can begin taking on orders for defense and homeland security sectors. The state is subsidizing two thirds of the cost of this training (about $6,000) to help keep more manufacturing jobs here.”When we were kids we were told Michigan is the Arsenal of Democracy,” says Kevin Lasser, CEO of Encryption Security Solutions. “This is helping us be that again.”The company specializes in digital security and has a subsidiary called Pure Entropy Technologies that deals with many government contracts.Source: Kevin Lasser, CEO of Encryption Security SolutionsWriter: Jon Zemke
