What are the Origins of mile2®?
Mile2® was developed in response to the threat of corporate and national information security attacks in the aftermath of 9/11. Mile2® designs, develops, and delivers Information Security training and Information Assurance services that meet military, government, private sector and institutional specifications. In doing so, Mile2®has become the de facto standard for organizations and militaries worldwide. Presently, mile2®has offices in the US, UK, Middle East and ASIA.
Why the name "mile2®"?
mile2's name was derived from a directive given by Jesus Christ: 'If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.(Matthew 5:41) This command has been paraphrased in recent times as "going the extra mile". In a historical context, a Roman Legionnaire was permitted by law to command any citizen or subject, carry a load for him for a distance of approximately one mile. However, the subject was not legally bound to carry it any further. Notwithstanding, we at mile2 hope to exceed our clients' and partners' expectations in everything that we do
