Thanks to CYBER.SEC.CON / HOU.SEC.CON for having us last week. (and for a really unique speaker gift!) The conference has grown into a valuable industry event, and I enjoyed catching up with folks I haven't seen in quite some time. I'm looking forward to the next one!

Sorry for the totally unrelated comment, but the anecdote about Spanish and "sky scratchers" (as opposed to English "sky scrapers") sums up everything I've struggled to explain to people about how challenging it is to translate things from one language to another.
Many words that we take for granted in English are colloquialisms. You must often find equivalent colloquialisms for them in other languages.
I recently worked on 2 small (in scope) translation projects and ran into these issues again and again.

Blue skies in Houston for the #HouSecCon security conference. In Spanish, you call these tall buildings “sky scratchers.” #cybersecurity #infosec #industrialcybersecurity
Honored to get a HOU.SEC.CON coin from the awesome Sam VanRyder #houseccon
Such a great event. Really unique vibe. Good mix of OT/IT, mgmt/tech. More diversity than I’ve seen at any other event. Smoothly run and well managed. I will definitely be back and you should go too.
Volunteering day 2 at HOU.SEC.CON . Hosting Track 4 in ballroom salon F, now with the juice table outside our door!.
