Top 5 TakeAways from ISACA 2022
A couple of weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the ISACA conference in New Orleans. It was a special treat since I (along with most of the world) had not been to a convention in 3 years due to a life altering pandemic. Quite refreshing to actually see people in person, listen to great speakers in person and share insight with colleagues in person. I couldn't attend all 80+ sessions but was able to catch about 18 of them.
Vertex11 and the Manta Trust partner together to help save a threatened species.
The manta ray is one of the most intelligent species in the ocean, having the largest brain-to-size ratio of any cold-blooded fish. They can recognize themselves in a mirror and obtain similar cognitive capabilities as dolphins. These special skills are why Vertex11 has chosen the manta ray to represent us as a brand. This relationship is also why we feel a deep obligation to protect them to the best of our abilities. Manta rays are constantly attacked and hunted for their meat and gill plates.

Representatives of an archeological dig taking place in the city of Trent in Northern Italy invited Vertex11 to join as an observer. A personal relationship goes back many years between the head archaeologist on the dig and Ray Vazquez, President of Vertex11, so this collaboration was long in the making.
