December 2011 Newsletter

Message From the President

Dear Members,

Thank you all for your support over the past year – I hope our events schedule has exceeded your expectations and you have enjoyed being a member of the UK’s largest independent association of security practitioners.


We announce Gabe Chomic and Les Fraser as winners of this year’s elections.  Les will continue in his role as VP Scottish Region and Gabe joins us as VP of Alliances.  Congratulations to you both.

This month we put together a successful Incident Response Planning workshop in Bristol and thank Adrian Wright for his assistance.  We also ran events in Leeds and Glasgow on Trends in Information Security and thank Les Fraser for his help.

I am looking forward to seeing you at our December events – we have a Social Networking event planned for December 8th, and our annual Microsoft Security Day planned for December 13th.

If you have enjoyed our events, do remember that you can invite a friend or colleague as part of our guest programme (first meeting free) – please feel free to distribute this link, as we continue our efforts to top Northern Virginia and become the largest ISSA Chapter in the world – https://www. issa.org/Join/Visit.html.

Following our December events, our schedule will start again on the 8th of March, with our first chapter meeting.  We will announce the full schedule along with new member benefits in January.

In the meantime, we are looking for a member in the South West area (Bristol /  South Wales) to assist with events in that region. If you do know of anybody or would like to help, please do get in touch.

Best regards,

Tim Holman
ISSA UK President
