“Those who shoulder disaster recovery responsibilities won’t want to miss this one.  This presentation will introduce the topic of “space weather” and why you should be concerned about it, including strategies you can take to minimize the impact of some worst-case scenarios of solar cycle 25.” -Rob Perry

I get it, what the heck is space weather and why should I be concerned about it?  Well Rob Perry is bringing us the goods again.  If you have ever attended one of Rob’s presentations you know that he has a great ability to take a very complicated subject, break it down and make it fun and enjoyable with a slant toward security.  His previous presentations on Block Chain and Quantum Computing were awesome and we expect this one to be just as good. Stay tuned for more information on this one.
