The week of October 26 to November 1 · 3 events in Portland · Read online

Tuesday is the night to be out in Portland. RainSec meets at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub, the informal, no vendor gathering I would show up for, and earlier that evening the Oregon Computer Consultants Association walks through what to check after a Microsoft 365 account compromise. At lunch the same day, ISACA Portland's webinar with Bell Cyber's field CISO covers what happens when an attack turns into a continuity crisis.

The rest of the week is quiet, which makes it a good one for free virtual CPE from your desk.
