As a whole, the industry cluster generates nearly $5 billion in annual revenue, and is home to more than 115 companies including major players like IBM, Dell, Verisign, and VMware AirWatch. The state is also home to the National Security Agency/Central Security Service which opened the Georgia Cryptologic Center in Augusta. In addition, the Army's Cyber Command (ARCYBER) Headquarters will move to Georgia, creating close to 4,000 new jobs by 2019.
