Where do you want to be this week? Now you’ll always know with our “Where You Want to Be This Week” feature, which will tell you about infosec meetups happening in your local area as of Sunday night. With the festive seasons around the corner, this week we have the most busiest week in December. With so many meetings, it is hard to recommend just one as the place to be but if we had to it’d be the MIT seminar series on cyber security with invited speaker Howard A. Schmidt, a White House Cyber-security Coordinator and ISSA Baltimore Meetup. So make sure to drop by or to the other meet-ups and we are sure you’d enjoy the topics.
If you would like your event listed in our Calendar and in this post, contact us or mention it to @grecs on Twitter. Anyway, here are your meetups for this week.
