A quiet Houston week and the API Cybersecurity Conference ahead
Sent 2026-10-25. Nothing local this week, so here are free virtual CPE picks, with the API conference on November 10.
The week of October 26 to November 1 · 0 events in Houston · Read online
The Houston calendar is empty this week, so it is a good one for CPE from your desk. There are more than two dozen free virtual sessions, and I would start with SANS on critical infrastructure preparedness and the Forvis Mazars session on manufacturing cybersecurity.
Plan ahead for November 10, when the 21st API Cybersecurity Conference for the oil and natural gas industry opens, a must for anyone in energy.
