August 29th 2017 - Toledo Ohio

The Cybersecurity User Group met yesterday in Toledo Ohio at the historic Oliver House, which is now the home of the Maumee Bay Brewing Company.  This is probably the most unique venue we've used for our group meetings to date.  The atmosphere in that old building was so cool, and the staff was excellent.  As always, our speaker's powerpoints, pictures from the event, short videos, and a recap of the agenda are all posted below:

We had 26 local Cybersecurity professionals in attendance.  Here are some pics of our group enjoying the presentations, lunch, and this special venue:

Our keynote presenter was Matthew Haschak, a 17-year veteran at Bowling Green State University and current Director of Security and Infrastructure at BG.  It was a great privilege for our group to hear from Matt.  He has a strong reputation locally and abroad for his leadership and expertise in the area of Cybersecurity.  Matt delivered an incredibly insightful presentation titled "Implementing Two-Factor Authentication at Bowling Green State University" where he shared the challenges, successes, and lessons learned from that experience.  Thanks again Matt for your contribution to our group.

Matt's presentation can be viewed/downloaded HERE.

A couple keepsakes from Matt's presentation are posted below:

We wrapped up our meeting with a round-table discussion moderated by Jackson Shaw, who is Vice President Product Management at One Identity.  It was a real honor to have Jackson's participation at user group.  He has been a pioneer and thinker in the IAM space since before "IAM" was even part of our common lexicon.  Jackson's round-table discussion guided us through insightful concepts related to "Managing Identity & Security in an increasingly SaaS world", which was also the title of his round-table.   

Jackson's slides are available for download HERE.

Jackson has the most relaxing profile pic I've ever seen:

We are planning our next meeting in Columbus at the end of September.   Still working to confirm our speakers.  As soon as those details are confirmed I will make an announcement. 

If you haven't already done so, please don't forget to send your ISACA and (ISC)2 member IDs to either myself (gib.patt@oneidentity.com) or Cynthia Au (cynthia.au@oneidentity.com), and we will submit 2 CPEs toward your continuing education requirements for your certs.

Yours Truly,
