About Us
Welcome to the South Florida Chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA)®! We are a nonprofit, international community of information security professionals and practitioners dedicated to education, collaboration, and professional growth. Through forums, publications, and networking opportunities, we help our members expand their expertise and advance their careers.
Our chapter brings together IT security professionals from across South Florida, spanning from Ft. Pierce to the Keys. Our members include practitioners, government agencies, corporations, nonprofits, educational institutions and consultants. We welcome everyone from students to C-suite executives, fostering a community that supports knowledge sharing and industry advancement.
Monthly Meetings
We meet on the third Thursday of each month at one of our preferred meeting locations across the tri-state area throughout the year. Each meeting features technical presentations, strictly no sales pitches, from industry experts.
Attendance is free and open to all! After attending three meetings in a calendar year, we encourage you to become a member and enjoy full benefits, including earning CPE credits and discounted access to local cybersecurity conferences. (CPE credits are only available to paid members in good standing.)
