Venue: Netrality Building, 13th Floor

Hacker Proof HQ and the WiCyS Houston Affiliate are bringing together five cybersecurity leaders for The Connect: C-Suite Edition panel, an evening of candid conversations, industry insights, and meaningful networking.
Our featured panelists are Crystal Chatam Grant, VP of Cybersecurity/CISO at Speedcast; Marc Crudgington, VP of IT Infrastructure and Cybersecurity at Crane Worldwide Logistics; Mary Roberts, Vice President, Chief Information Security Officer and Infrastructure; Bemi Anjous, Head of Global InfoSec/OT and CISO; and Erica Connor, Chief Information Security Officer.
