Chapter Hosts FBI Computer Scientist

In June, the chapter hosted a successful luncheon highlighting the latest cyber threats the community faces. The event's keynote speaker was FBI Computer Scientist Tommy Armendariz, who shared his extensive expertise on current cyber scams, the impacts and basic cybersecurity strategies. Attendees gained valuable insight into cyber criminals' techniques and actionable strategies to safeguard their organizations against ever-evolving cyber threats.

Andrew Hair, chapter president, expressed his appreciation to Armendariz for sharing his presentation, valuable insights and expertise on a topic of immense interest to everyone. Hair also mentioned that the attendees learned a great deal about the FBI's role in defeating cyber adversaries.

The luncheon also served as a platform for professionals to connect, exchange ideas and cultivate meaningful relationships. The chapter aims to fortify El Paso's industry, academic and military communities by fostering professional connections and contributing to the region's growing technical/industrial base. The chapter is planning additional luncheons in the coming months covering various local military and academic experts in cyber and drone technology, among other topics.
