This of course includes finalist, CISO of the Year award winner, and BlueSky IT friend and partner, James O’Brien, with Port Houston, whom Meg was honored to nominate for this award. His leadership and commitment to our community and Port Houston are unparalleled, and we are so thrilled that we also had the opportunity to take a behind-the-scenes tour of Port Houston with James and his partners earlier this year. Congratulations to James and all the incredible finalists and winners this year! Houston is fortunate to have you leading us into the future. ![2025 HoustonCISO Orbies](https://discover.blueskyitpartners.com/hs-fs/hubfs/2025%20HoustonCISO%20Orbies.jpeg?width=1040&height=780&name=2025%20HoustonCISO%20Orbies.jpeg)   ## Shared this post [Share via Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.blueskyitpartners.com%2Fevents%2Fhonoring-the-most-cisos-in-the-world-at-the-2025-houstonciso-orbie-awards) [Share via Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.blueskyitpartners.com%2Fevents%2Fhonoring-the-most-cisos-in-the-world-at-the-2025-houstonciso-orbie-awards&text=Honoring+Houston+CISOs+at+the+2025+Inspire+Orbie+Awards) [Share via Email](mailto:?subject=Honoring+Houston+CISOs+at+the+2025+Inspire+Orbie+Awards&body=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.blueskyitpartners.com%2Fevents%2Fhonoring-the-most-cisos-in-the-world-at-the-2025-houstonciso-orbie-awards) [Share via LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fdiscover.blueskyitpartners.com%2Fevents%2Fhonoring-the-most-cisos-in-the-world-at-the-2025-houstonciso-orbie-awards&title=Honoring+Houston+CISOs+at+the+2025+Inspire+Orbie+Awards&summary=BlueSky+IT+Partners+celebrates+the+2025+HoustonCISO+Orbie+Awards%2C+honoring+top+CISOs+and+congratulating+James+O%27Brien+for+his+outstanding+leadership+at+Port+Houston.%0A%0ASummarized+Main+Point%3A%0ABlueSky+IT+Partners%2C+as+an+underwriter+of+the+2025+HoustonCISO+Orbie+Awards%2C+celebrated+the+achievements+of+leading+CISOs%2C+including+James+O%27Brien+from+Port+Houston%2C+who+won+the+CISO+of+the+Year+award.) ![](https://discover.blueskyitpartners.com/hubfs/BlueSky-BPT-All-White-Logo-Small.webp) - [IT Consulting](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/it-consulting/) - Solutions - [Cloud & Data Center](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/cloud-data-center-solutions/) - [Cybersecurity & AI](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/cybersecurity/) - [Unified Communications](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/unified-communications/) - [Network Services](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/network-telecom/) - Services - [Field Services](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/field-services/) - [Lifecycle Management](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/lifecycle-management/) - [About Us](https://www.blueskyitpartners.com/about-us/) - Learning Center - [Blog](https://discover.blueskyitpartners.com/blog) - [Resources](https://discover.blueskyitpartners.com/learn) - [Case Studies](https://discover.blueskyitpartners.com/case-studies) - [Events](https://discover.blueskyitpartners.com/events) - [News & Awards](https://discover.blueskyitpartners.com/news-and-rooms) #### Contact Us BlueSky IT Partners 2429 Bissonnet, Suite 483 Houston, TX 77005 #### Local Phone: (713) 929-0950 #### National Toll Free: (877) 303-8037 #### Email [solutions@blueskyitpartners.com](mailto:solutions@blueskyitpartners.com) #### Follow Us © 2025 BLUESKY IT PARTNERS.
