(ISC)² Chapter – Plan for the end of the year 2023

Dear Friends, Dear Professionals,

We are getting back to work now and would like to rework on our website. During the last months we were very active at work and had very little time to manage our (ISC)2 activities.

We will now try our best to come back with more events and a website more up-to-date.

Kind regards
Your chapter

Dear Chapter Members,

We are organizing a whole day event on Friday the 28th Sept at TechnoPark Zurich
and we would like to invite you to attend and/or be more actively involved.

CSC 2018https://isc2-switzerland.ch/conference-2018/

This year’s event is now entirely organized by the (ISC)2 Chapter Switzerland so we welcome any suggestions / contributions or new ideas by the members

Chapter Members who have something interesting to share with the audience, can deliver a speech. There are still some slots open so in case you are interested, please contact the Board, with a short professional bio and a topic summary, and we will come back to you. All speeches should have high educational value for the participants, relate to today’s hot topics in information security and be in English.

  • Participation as Chapter Member comes at the special price of 20CHF instead of 80CHF (speakers join for free)
  • Registrations will open soon here
  • Exact time schedule within the day is not yet final, because we want to be flexible enough to include candidate speakers, who will express their interest the following weeks.
  • Registration is possible only through Credit Card because we support full refund until 2 weeks before the event (in that case send an email to j.alexakis@isc2-switzerland.ch until 15th of Sept). So there is no reason to wait to register later.
  • The special price of 20CHF is available to active Chapter Members only. So if you haven’t paid the membership fee for 2018 yet, this is excellent opportunity to do so and attend the event at this reduced price.
  • You can collect 8 CPEs by participating. If you register your (ISC)2 Member ID in your profile, we will submit the 8 CPEs to (ISC)2 on behalf of you after the event.

You are also encouraged to share this event on social media and invite colleagues to join.

————————————

The General Assembly opened with a big thanks and applause to stepping out president Kelly Richdale leading the Swiss Chapter since 2015.  She has in the last months started a new challenge in the Innovation Council of Innosuisse, the federal organisation charged with promoting science based innovation in Switzerland.

Members thanked also Cristian Dumitrescu and Andrey Mityukov, board members that helped the organization in 2017 and that are now leaving the board.

During the meeting, chapter members had the opportunity to review activities performed last year and to receive an overview on the approved the financial statement and Audit report for the year 2017.

We would like to mention that the General Assembly allowed for the first time remote participation via Webinar platform.  Main goal of the platform is to offer the opportunity to more Chapter members to see and participate to other upcoming events.

The participants proposed and voted the following challenging goals for the year 2018:

  • Review existing Bylaws and suggest necessary amendments
  • Investigate the possibility to translate Safe and Secure Online material (initially in German) and prepare cost estimation
  • Implement electronic voting for Chapter Members in order to approve the new bylaws,  expenses for SSO material translation, and any other important decisions from now on
  • Organise a local one day event after summer that will be free for Chapter Members
  • Continue the collaboration with SIGS and investigate possible synergies with Swiss CyberSecurity

We would like to thank you for your participation and we hope to see you soon during the next upcoming events!

Best regards,

The Board of (ISC)2  Chapter Switzerland

John, Erich, Enrico, Mikhail, Erich and Jeff
