August Virtual Happy Hour - Cybersecurity & Digital Health Check

Join us for our last (for now?) entirely virtual Happy Hour, hosted by our friends at Delap

Ensuring our data remains safe and secure has never been more critical, especially as working from home does not guarantee the same level of cybersecurity as an office. In fact, between February and May 2020, more than half a million people using video conferencing tools were affected by breaches.” 

Diane Bishop from Delap will talk about how critical compliance is for business, while Dwayne Thomas of PDX Blacks in Tech will share stories garnered from his years working as a security engineer.

As always, we will have recruiters looking to connect with you about jobs via our Virtual Job Seekers Lounge. And for those of you looking to connect on camera, we will have face-to-face networking at the end of the event! 

We will have ASL interpretation and live closed captioning throughout. Please get in touch with any additional accessibility needs you may have. 

Hope to see you there!
