(ISC)2 North East England Chapter - May 2020 #Online

The (ISC)2 North East England chapter supports a growing community of information security professionals in the region providing an opportunity to build a local network of peers to share knowledge and exchange ideas

Our next FREE chapter event is open to both (ISC)2 and non-(ISC)2 members and now booked for 19th May 2020

During lockdown we hope this online meet will be a good opportunity for the NE InfoSec/Cyber community to catchup and share recent experiences and challenges. To facilitate this, we are looking for volunteers to take an active part in this event! We would like each volunteer to share in the meeting, using no more than 2 PowerPoint slides, a brief introduction and your remote working challenges, risks, solutions etc. (No speaking experience is necessary – this is an informal meet!)

In addition, we also want to see your home office setup! So, share a photo and there may be a (ISC)2 stationary prize to add to your desk in the most unusual / impressive office set up.

To close the event there will be a virtual round for the NHS! Wylam Brewery are supporting an initiative to pay a pint forward for an NHS worker once lockdown ends. We would like to support this by asking our chapter members and attendees on the 19th May to buy the NHS a pint (£5) here. Every donation will be added to a bar tab at Wylam Brewery Tap (or one of its partner pubs and bottle shops in the North East) enabling an NHS worker to enjoy a beer on you.

If you would like to volunteer to share homeworking experience and or home office photo please drop a note to isc2nech@gmail.com

For those attending, we'll email you webinar link closer to time of event.
