While National Cyber Security Awareness Month is behind us, cyber risks continues to plague us in our personal lives, in academia and in a number of industries and sectors in which we operate in today. It would be prudent for you to continue your understanding in the area by keeping this toolkit with you and sharing it with your friends, family and colleagues. The information will provide cybersecurity awareness well beyond Cybersecurity month. The New York Metropolitan Chapter was involved in several conferences, trainings and awareness sessions in the month of October and we’d like to thank our volunteers and members who came out to support these important events.
As we move into November, we continue to share security best practices, support events related to the practice of Information Technology and Leadership. There are ‘FIRST-TIME’ events you should know about in the month of November. Our 1st ever SheleadsTech event, taking place on November 21, is near capacity. Our Emerging Professionals Committee kicked off November with their 1st ever Coffee Break Session. The next session will take place on November 14th.

In addition to our ‘FIRST-TIME’ events, we are ensuring our chapter operations are in order. The Bylaws committee will be presenting updates to our governance procedures. The Risk Management, Legal and Compliance Committee will roll out our Data Privacy and Social Media Policy. Our strategic goals and objectives will be reviewed, and the Financial Committee will be looking to optimize the chapters banking operations by the end of the month.
Our Student Member population is growing and ISACA Student Groups, within the New York Metropolitan area are increasing. The Academic Relations Committee is focusing on collaborative events across our student groups and we continue to build our relationship with IQ4 through mentoring opportunities to our members.

Continue to keep an eye on the website for updates to our Certification Exam Prep and Educational courses and webinars.
