November 1st - Cleveland Ohio

Our venue for last Friday's November 1st CLF luncheon was "Lockkeepers" in Cleveland, à propos for a group of cybersecurity professionals.  We had a great time last week with Bob Eckman, Jerod Brennen, Chris Voller, and all of our many guests from the security communities of Northeast Ohio.  Thank you all for sharing your lunch with us, and making it a great experience.
