Message from the Chapter President

As 2023 is drawing to a close, I am excited to highlight our New England Chapter accomplishments.  I am so proud of the efforts by our Board members and our volunteers, and grateful to see another successful year serving our Chapter membership.

  • We partnered with ISACA Global to hold the inaugural Digital Trust World Conference by ISACA Global in Boston in May of this year. I had the honor of sharing the stage to welcome conference participants and introducing our local charity, Pine Street Inn. This event brought together the global ISACA community and we had a great attendance by our Chapter members.

  • Once again, 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.

  • On Friday September 29th, 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!
