ISC2 Security Congress

The work the panel recognised

A profession holds together through the places its people gather. Security Congress has been one of those places since 2011, run by ISC2 for the members it certifies and for the wider community around them. Each edition brings thousands of practitioners together across keynotes, dozens of sessions and the continuing education credits that keep their certifications current.

The Community of the Year category looks for exactly this: a gathering that gives defenders somewhere to learn from one another, carry that knowledge home, and feel less alone in the work. A SOC analyst comparing detection notes with a peer over coffee is the point of an event like this, not a side effect of it.

Beyond the award

ISC2 sits behind the conference as a non-profit body whose purpose is to raise the standard of the people who do this work, through certification, training and the community Security Congress convenes each year. The Cyber Security Awards judged only the community itself, against the published criteria, and that is what this page records.
