executive letter from the deSk of (ISC) 2 'S ChaIrperSon Calling All Members: Shape the Next Generation (ISC) 2 provIdeS multIple opportunItIeS for memberS to InCreaSe theIr knowledge, work wIth peerS and Support the next generatIon of profeSSIonalS. As 2011 comes to A close, so does my role as an (Isc)² Board member. I began working with (Isc)² as an exam item writing volunteer in 1998, after which time, I served on a number of committees and finally, the Board of Directors. Being involved with this organization has been a highly rewarding experience for me, both personally and professionally. During my tenure, I have met very knowledgeable people who have helped me grow. I’ve seen what once used to be an unrecognized profession become one of the most in-demand career fields of the day, thanks in large part to the passion, volunteerism and innovations of (Isc)² members. With the need for qualified information security professionals at an all-time high, I challenge everyone to put your passion for our profession to work. It’s critical not only for our growth as professionals, but it’s essential to the future of society and our industry. In a recent blog, I shared the many volunteer avenues that are available to (Isc)² members. You just have to find the one(s) that best suit your interests and availability. A few months ago, we expanded our scholarship program to offer Us$140,000 — more than ever before — and introduced programs for women and undergraduate students. We formed the new (Isc)² Foundation earlier this year to sustain goodwill initiatives like the scholarship program to help fill the pipeline of information security professionals. (Isc)² members can play a critical role here, either by making a financial donation to the Foundation or volunteering their time to the safe and secure online program, which is a pub- lic service that places our members in schools to teach kids how to protect themselves online. to date, the program has reached nearly 70,000 children worldwide, and the demand from schools is growing daily. If you have a passion for teaching and information security, We NeeD YoU! You can sign up here: https://cyber exchange.isc2.org/safe-secure.aspx. Another way members are changing the profession is through the (Isc)² chapter program. (Isc)² chapters provide you with a great chance to build your local network, connect with your peers to share knowledge, exchange resources, collaborate on projects, and earn cPe credits. communities like these are critical to support the current and future generation of professionals. Finally, we will soon be introducing an online resource for consumers and information security professionals around the globe. called (Isc)² security central, this portal will be a one-stop shop for a wide range of security assets tagged and contributed by (Isc)² members and anyone else who has a resource to share. Watch for details in the coming months. (Isc)² members, as the pre-eminent cyber security experts in the world, you have the opportunity to continue to shape this dynamic career field. You have made it what it is today. You can make a difference, and (Isc)² is here to help you do that. You will find more rewards than you ever imagined possible. sincerely, Diana-lynn contesti cIssP-IssAP, IssmP, csslP, sscP chair, (Isc)² Board of Directors ISSue number 16 INFosecUrItY ProFessIoNAl 3
