October Chapter Meeting
October 8, 2026
6:00-8:00pm PST
Topic: Crisis as Catalyst: Transforming Security After an Attack
A cyberattack is miserable but it’s also a golden ticket for change. Never Waste a Good Cyberattack breaks down how to turn chaos into advantage: driving modernization, winning resources, fixing broken processes and finally getting security the seat at the table it needed before things imploded. This session will cover lessons learned, hard truths, and how to turn “never again” into sustained change from the ransomware attack at SEA airport.
Host: Stephanie Warren
