ISC2 Ottawa Chapter March Networking Event

Please join your fellow ISC2 members and other local Cybersecurity enthusiasts to join us in person at Beyond the Pale Brewery on their upstairs mezzanine.

Note: this is not a catered event, but food and drinks will be available for order much the same as we have done in the past. We especially invite ISC2 Members and CC seekers and all cybersecurity enthusiasts to come out and meet your 2023 Board and discuss ideas for 2024.

At our meeting we'll have some chapter announcements and provide some updates and ideas from the board as well as from the ISC2 Association. We'll start at 6:30PM and open our meeting and welcome and leave plenty of time for networking.

At this meeting we're fortunate to have a speaker: Andrew Amaro from Klavan Security.
