November 13th 2019 - Cheers to Identity - Collision Brewery - Cleveland

Our colleagues from Focal-Point, CyberArk, Ping Identity, and SailPoint co-sponsored Happy Hour at Collision Brewery in Cleveland Last Wednesday.  We call it "Cheers to Identity" and I think we need to make this a regular.  Lots of fun with friends, beverages, and identity conversations flowing.  Love how the patio overlooks the river!

Here's a little keepsake from the event:

September 25th - The Northwest Ohio Cybersecurity and Risk Management Summit 2019

Last Wednesday, September 25th, Northwest Ohio ISACA, IIA, and the Cybersecurity Leadership Forum, with co-sponsorship from SailPoint Technologies, and Focal Point Data Risk, held the Toledo Cybersecuity and Risk Management Summit at the University of Toledo followed by a CLF-styled InfoSec dinner event.  For a most excellent contrast, we started the day at the state-of-the-art Immersive Simulation Center at the University of Toledo, and ended at the historic Old Oliver House for dinner and drinks:
