TECH SPOTLIGHT TOPIC: "Preventing Your Next Cyber Loss" with Frank Appunn, Security Consultant, InfraGard Member, and IT & Management Professor at Thomas College

Frank brings his experiences and recent research to this fast-paced overview of some specific and surprising security concerns we should anticipate in 2020 to 2024, affecting smaller and large organizations, including government, healthcare, manufacturing, service providers, and finance/banking sectors.

MTUG is grateful to our Peers & Beers Co-Sponsor -- Robert Half Technology (www.roberthalf.com) -- for their generous support of this event!

MTUG also thanks our volunteer board members Eugene Slobodzian and Jamers Harder for assistance coordinating the speaker/topic for this session.

MTUG’s Peers and Beers events are a chance for IT professionals and enthusiasts to network in an informal setting while learning about a unique technology topic. There are usually four or five Peers & Beers events (in addition to MTUG Webinars) held each season at locations across Maine.
