A quiet Tampa Bay week and free CPE from your desk

Sent 2026-10-25. Nothing local this week, so here are virtual CPE picks, with IIA and ISACA West Florida in early November.

The week of October 26 to November 1 · 0 events in Tampa · Read online

There is nothing on the Tampa Bay calendar this week, so it is a good one for CPE from your desk. More than two dozen free virtual sessions are on the list, and I would start with WiCyS on lessons from a hospital ransomware tabletop and Optro's practitioner guide to cyber risk quantification.

Local events return soon, with IIA Florida West Coast on November 4 and ISACA West Florida on next generation identity on November 6.
