On behalf of the Cybersecurity Leadership Forum I want to thank our great speakers for sharing their time and talent with the Detroit-area security community.   We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from your experiences, and share your ideas within our own organizations.

Our next meeting is scheduled for March 21st in Toledo Ohio at the Maumee Bay Brewing Company, and will follow a full day of training at the U of Toledo campus at the Immersive Simulation Center.  More details will be shared next week.

Until next time I wish you all the greatest of success!

Sincerely,
