Serving the Central Ohio Information Security Community

  • The Central Ohio ISSA Chapter exists to inform, educate, and train our members and community on the latest trends, topics, and key issues in the information security space. We accomplish this through our monthly meetings, multiple technical training sessions each year, annual CISSP training, and our annual Information Security Summit that sees over 900 in attendance.

    But perhaps the most key component of what makes the Central Ohio ISSA Chapter successful is the spirit of cooperation and cohesiveness of everyone in the local InfoSec community. The willingness of professionals to share knowledge, educate, and encourage one another is second-to-none.

    If you're already a part of our community - thank you for your ongoing contributions! If you're not yet part of our community, we'd love to have you join us!

Meet The Board

“My involvement in ISSA has opened up job opportunities and friendships that would have otherwise not existed. More specifically, I've been able to develop and sustain professional relationships that I can rely on going forward. In addition, serving as a chapter officer has helped strengthen my leadership skills, which in turn has made me more successful at my job.”
