Security & Risk

As the world’s foremost association of cybersecurity professionals representing more than 365,000 members, candidates and associates worldwide, ISC2 is committed to ensuring our profession reflects the diversity of the world we serve. We believe that our mission of a safe and secure cyber world depends on a diverse, equitable and inclusive cybersecurity workforce. We want to be clear that we stand against legislative measures that not only limit, but in some instances, outlaw the freedom of expression and identity for any underrepresented community. Limiting the freedom of expression and access to healthcare for those in the LGBTQIA+ community in Tennessee – the location of this year’s ISC2 Security Congress conference – is deeply troubling. No one should feel threatened, persecuted or excluded due to discriminatory laws.

Cybersecurity has always contended with evolving threats. As the internet has become more embedded into social and economic life and smart phones, tablets and other handheld devices become ubiquitous, bad actors have devised new attacks to capitalize on new vulnerabilities. And just as agencies are implementing zero trust architecture to help with this wave, other IT developments are threatening to upend cybersecurity even more. For instance, artificial intelligence is being incorporated into software, even as elected officials and regulatory agencies are trying to develop new rules of the road for its use. At the same time, historically-offline operations technology is beginning to be integrated with IT systems, opening up the OT to attacks that previously weren’t feasible.
