Hey there! Get ready for an action-packed couple of months!

First things first, let’s talk about our June RISE meeting on June 13th. It’s called “Left of Boom,” a fantastic collaboration between RISE and RBTC. We’re diving deep into proactive IT security strategies. We’ll delve into disaster recovery and business continuity from an IT security perspective, exploring how to identify and mitigate potential risks before they escalate into major security incidents. Our very own Rob Garbee will kick things off with a concise presentation, followed by an interactive discussion on best practices for enhancing IT security resilience.

So, join us at Virginia Western Community College in Room M302 for an evening of knowledge-sharing and networking.  Note: there will be a nominal fee of $10 to cover the cost of food and drinks.
