If you’re in Atlanta on August 20, you can join us for a LIVE episode at Mission 25. Register here: MCS Mission: Security’25

Our new merch store is live(ish): DefSec Store – We’ll be adding more items as time goes on. This is managed through Printify, which has a quite expansive range of products to logo up.

Also, some of you may know that Jerry is into photography and contemplating creating a calendar with images he’s taken. Let us know if that sounds interesting. Possible themes are: beach sunsets, flowers, or jet fighters, because that’s about all he’s good at taking pictures of.
