• October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month. This annual event is an important reminder for organizations everywhere to strengthen their defenses and remain vigilant against cyber threats. Look for the #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth and #SecureOurWorld hashtags for tips and tricks to protect identities, networks, and data from evolving attacks.

Join the #ForceForGood

#TeamSemperis volunteers Jim Doggett (CISO), Shan Nyakhar (Deputy CISO), Claire Lowde (CSM), Darrel Jones (SE Team Lead), Andrew Woolen (Sales Rep), and Emory Camp (Sales Rep) pitched in at Henry’s Home , a sanctuary for rescued horses and veterans facing PTSD. Together, they built a deck, reinforced fencing, applied protective coats on viewing structures, and cleared a tree—saving the nonprofit up to $5K in labor costs. It was a rewarding day supporting Henry’s mission to serve veterans in need!
