What we’re about
We are the official ISSA Meetup group for computer security professionals in Hampton Roads, Virginia. Our members are from both sides of the James River who are interested in securing their digital information against the growing threats of hackers, malware, and insider threats. ISSA is the premiere community for cybersecurity professionals dedicated to advancing individual growth, managing technology risk, and protecting critical information and infrastructure.
We meet once a month in Norfolk, or occasionally in other cities for other events, to network, exchange business opportunities, and learn about information security. Find out about upcoming events on our website www.issa-hr.org.
