In October 2023, members of the ISACA New England Executive Board attended the Digital Trust Europe Conference held in Dublin Ireland. We were proud to represent our Chapter and connect with the ISACA Global leadership including Megan Moritz, ISACA Chapter relations liaison.

Once again in 2023, we were selected by ISACA Global to play an important part in the ISACA's Annual Day of Advocacy on Capitol Hill in September. We had the chance to meet with members of the US Congress about advancing digital trust and supporting legislation to fund federal civilian cybersecurity training programs – a truly bipartisan effort. We also had an opportunity to dialogue with ISACA executives Erik Prusch, ISACA CEO, to discuss the future of the ISACA organization.

We were thrilled to be a founding partner for SecureMaine conference – check out a feature story by Paul Dwyer, NE Chapter Board member and our Maine location leader.

On Friday September 29th, 2023, ISACA New England Members gathered at the Lakeview Pavillion in Foxborough MA for a half day event filled with knowledgable speakers and lots of networking time with our sponsors! We had a total of four sessions covering Compliance Frameworks, Identifying Security Vulnerabilities in ERP, Auditing Azure and a collaborative panel on the State of IT Audit, moderated by our very own Seminar Lead, Eric Ohslon. We are looking forward to getting back to the Lakeview Pavillion for a future event, it was such a great space and a new location for ISACA New England - thanks again to all of our sponsors who made it such a special day (Anecdotes, Onapsis, OCD Tech, Compass IT Compliance, RSM, Protiviti, Auditboard and the Association of Continuity Professionals).

ISACA New England academic representatives spent the morning connecting with students at the Cybersecurity Festival, MassBay Community College. The cybersecurity festival aimed to inspire and educate students with an interest in learning about cybersecurity by providing interactive demonstrations and labs. Its primary goal was to encourage students to explore diverse career opportunities within the field of cybersecurity by networking with industry professionals, exploring a range of cybersecurity exercises, and having fun!

And finally, the NE Chapter Board had a fantastic teambuilding and family day at Kimball Farms in August, 2023. Come volunteer on our Board to be a part of this amazing team! Click here to contact New England Chapter to discuss volunteer opportunities.
