Cyber and Cider Event Recap: A Happy Hour for Local Professionals

Alice Marchuk • Jan 16, 2023

The Event

In November, Edge Networks held a happy hour for local professionals, generously sponsored by 1Password. We had the exciting opportunity to network with IT and Cybersecurity professionals, enjoy delicious bites and beverages, hear from a conversational panel of industry experts, and come away with tips, tricks, new connections, and a few freebies!


Say Ciao! catered some incredible light bites and beverages. Say Ciao! is a local catering company in Vancouver, WA, and one of our team's favorite places to order our weekly lunch from. Mela Brewing Co, another great, local company here in Vancouver, provided delicious hard cider for our attendees.

The Panel

Our cybersecurity panel consisted of industry professionals from Edge Networks, Intel, and Realwear, and they covered important topics like phishing, security patches, password hygiene, MFA, and more. Missed out or interested in a refresher? Check out the full Cyber and Cider Panel Recap.  We also got to hear some great personal stories, recommendations, and advice from our panel.


We want to say a big thank you to our incredible panel for taking the time to share your insight, tips, and advice. There is so much we can learn from experts like you!
