Amazing turnout for today’s 𝐌𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐧 at Mosa Asian Bistro. Today’s gathering was more than just great food (yes, sesame chicken pairs surprisingly well with cybersecurity talk). It was a vibrant exchange of ideas, pathways, and passion.
At my end of the table, we dove deep into how folks are 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲. I learned about certifications like CompTIA Security+, CISSP/CISM, and cloud platforms like AWS and Azure.
Other conversations sparked just as much energy:
🧠 AI ethics and data privacy
🛠️ Documenting processes at work (onboarding, team knowledge sharing)
🎓 Using AI as a teaching tool
The last conversation was a fascinating 𝐢𝐧-𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐞'𝐬 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭. I was amazed at the level of detail, the number of features, and the clear understanding of the problem she was solving.
Shout out to everyone contributing to keeping a cherished Memphis tech community tradition alive.
