September 28th 2017 - Columbus Ohio

Thursday 9/28, The Cybersecurity User Group met at Smith & Wollensky in Easton.  We had one of our best meetings to date.  There were close to 40 security professionals in attendance, with interaction and discussion throughout.  I'm very thankful to everyone who helped make today's meeting a success, especially our speakers: Jerod Brennen (Keynote), Bill Evans (Sponsor), and Adrianne Ward (Roundtable Moderator), but also our attendees who contributed your time and ideas to the security discussions.

Next Cybersecurity User Group Meeting:  Dayton, November 9th.

Our next meeting will be in Dayton on Thursday November 9th.  I'll send a newsletter update with registration and details once the venue is confirmed.  Our speaker for the Dayton meetup is Dr. Loren Wagner, who's Ph.D. research and dissertation focuses on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.  An abstract for Dr. Wagner's talk along with a short biography have been posted HERE.    The Cybersecurity User Group cannot express well enough how pleased we are that Dr. Wagner has agreed to speak for us, and to facilitate a discussion.  This will be a rare learning experience, so please block your calendars now if you are able to attend.

Our group is not meeting in October because there are just too many other security events happening across our region.  For a list of October events please see the previous blog post HERE.  Or you can just scroll down.

Thanks all.
