ISC2 Permian Basin Chapter Annual Banquet & Awards Dinner

Join us on December 18, 2025 from 7:00–8:30 PM CST for the ISC2 Permian Basin Chapter’s Annual Banquet - an evening of insight, recognition, and community. This year’s keynote speaker is Kevin Johnson, CEO of Secure Ideas and one of the industry’s most respected penetration testers, instructors, and security researchers.

Kevin will deliver “The Upside Down of Convergence: When IT and OT Collide,” a gripping exploration of how attackers exploit the hidden seams between enterprise IT and operational technology networks. Through real-world penetration testing stories, Kevin will reveal:

• The patterns attackers exploit and the blind spots that persist in converged environments
• What attacker reconnaissance really looks like when mapping connections across converged environments
• Lateral movement techniques that bypass zone-based security models
• The ultimate impact scenarios when IT incidents cascade into operational disruptions

Whether you defend utilities, manufacturing, industrial automation, energy, or enterprise IT systems, you’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of how adversaries view converged infrastructure - and what it takes to secure both sides of the divide.

The evening includes:
✨ Dinner service
✨ Sponsor recognition
✨ Annual chapter awards
✨ Presentation of cybersecurity certification scholarships
✨ Networking with cybersecurity peers and leaders across the Permian Basin

This is our signature event of the year - and seats are limited.

Secure your spot and join us for an unforgettable night of learning, celebration, and community.
