Our Community
Our chapter is built for people who want to engage with cybersecurity locally — including ISC2-certified professionals, practitioners in related roles, students, career changers, and others interested in advancing cybersecurity knowledge and practice. ISC2 chapter materials describe chapters as communities made up of both members and non-members who are interested in the profession and in supporting a safer cyber world.

ISC2 Eastern Massachusetts supports the profession not only through events and networking, but also through service and leadership. We encourage members to speak, volunteer, help shape chapter programming, and take part in activities that strengthen the local cybersecurity community. ISC2’s volunteer materials emphasize that volunteer service helps advance its vision of a safe and secure cyber world and gives professionals a way to share expertise, connect with peers, and make a local impact.
