This is a quiet week in Sacramento with one evening worth your time. On Thursday the Sacramento IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity Community gathers at Chicago Pizza with a Twist for a roundtable on what is hitting local businesses right now, from the phishing that got past the filters to the backup that did not restore. Stories like those from peers are worth more than most webinars.

If you want CPE, there are more than two dozen free virtual sessions this week, including WiCyS on the unwritten lessons of becoming a CISO.
