UpstateSC ISSA

We are the Upstate South Carolina chapter of the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) — a local community of cybersecurity professionals, students, and enthusiasts committed to knowledge-sharing, professional growth, and fostering an inclusive environment for all who are passionate about information security. 

Our mission is to help cybersecurity professionals and enthusiasts grow by sharing knowledge, developing skills, and staying informed. We bring people together to learn from each other, exchange ideas, and tackle real-world challenges in information security.

We keep our community up to date on the latest trends, tools, and threats—and we advocate for smart, effective security practices within organizations to protect valuable information and systems. 

Monthly Meetings

Our chapter meetings are free and open to the public.

Event details and registration information are shared via our mailing list and select social media platforms. 

We meet on the second Friday of each month from 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM.
Meetings always include professional networking opportunities and often a presentation on an information security topic. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, you'll find something valuable at every event and someone interesting to get to know.

Regular meetings resume!​
While Black Hat and DEF CON are taking over Vegas, we’re still meeting right here in Greenville — and we’d love to see you there.
We're back at our normal location at Greenville Tech’s Center for Manufacturing Innovation. Lunch will be provided for all attendees.
This month’s meeting features a presentation by TEKsystems on the current IT job market.
Whether you're hiring, job hunting, or just keeping an eye on industry trends, this session will offer useful insights into today’s tech job landscape.
