Brief Presentation Description
Join us for a live, in-person edition of the monthly HESS Cybersecurity & Policy meeting. These monthly gatherings bring together professionals to explore current cybersecurity challenges, share effective strategies, and discuss institutional policies. They offer a supportive space for participants to ask questions, exchange ideas, and learn from each other’s experiences.
This session provides a unique opportunity for those unfamiliar with the HESS community to experience the collaborative environment we’ve built online. For regular attendees, it’s a chance to deepen connections face-to-face and engage in meaningful discussions around a focused cybersecurity agenda.
Even if cybersecurity isn’t your main focus, all are welcome!
