November Loudoun Cyber Meetup: Aliscia Andrews, Commonwealth of Virginia

Thanks to everyone who came out to our Oct. 11 Meetup! We were back at Venture X Co-working space in One Loudoun (thank you to Richie Parsons at Venture X for hosting us). Our featured speaker was Bryan Ware, CEO of LookingGlass Cyber Solutions. Based on his extensive background in public sector and private sector cybersecurity, Bryan shared his thoughts on the state of the software industry with respect to vulnerabilities, integration of defensive and offensive operations, the growing importance of Red Team capabilities, software BOM’s, and the federal cybersecurity workforce, among other topics.

LookingGlass was also kind enough to be our hospitality sponsor for the evening. “Thank You” to Bryan and his team for their generosity and commitment to building our cyber community across NoVa.

Save The Date: Our next Loudoun Cybersecurity Meetup will be on Tuesday Nov. 15, back at Venture X in Ashburn. We’ll hear from Aliscia Andrews, Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security, Office of the Governor - Commonwealth of Virginia.

Thanks to Cribl, who has offered to be our hospitality sponsor for the November Meetup.
