Welcome to the ISC2 Philadelphia Chapter, your trusted hub for cybersecurity excellence in the City of Brotherly Love. As a local chapter of the esteemed International Information System Security Certification Consortium (ISC2), we are dedicated to advancing the cybersecurity profession and building a robust community of security enthusiasts, professionals, and experts in the Greater Philadelphia area.

Connect

Throughout the year we host networking events. Last year we gathered together for a fun night at Dave & Busters. We work a booth at the annual SecureWorld Philadelphia and Bryan from our board is a regular speaker.

Educate

If you hold any ISC2 certifications or other industry certifications, it is likely that you have some form of CPE requirement to keep that certification active. ISC2 members are expected to acquire 120 CPEs over a 3 year period. We provide a great way to keep up to date on exciting security topics and get CPE credits through webinars which we aim to have at least once a month. Any vendors brought in are asked to speak to the topic and stay vendor-neutral. Join our LinkedIn group or Mailchimp to find out when are latest events are happening and how to join.

Some words from our members

"Since joining the ISC2 chapter, I have really enjoyed talking with other members as well as the local sponsors who support the chapter. I get valuable information from the lunch and learn topics and their quarterly themes. It’s a good mix of remote and in-person events for my professional work load."
Ed Jowett
"For me, cybersecurity isn’t just a career—it’s a community, and the ISC2 Philadelphia Chapter embodies that. Beyond the technical discussions, the chapter fosters a sense of belonging and shared purpose. Volunteering for events and initiatives has been incredibly rewarding, knowing we’re making a difference in our local area."
