## Resource

When America was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, Western New Yorkers were among those quick to respond in any way they could. Dr. Steve MacMartin, director of the Hilbert College Cybersecurity program, spent three decades in the Department of Homeland Security. In 2001, he was sent to Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan. He shared what that experience was like with WBEN.
