Message From The President

We had another fantastic meeting this month! Our members were introduced to a volunteer program that addresses the cybersecurity workforce gap issue. We learned from Frank Cicio, CEO of iQ4, and Alex Abramov, past President of ISACA NY, on how we can mentor students that are enrolled in IQ4's cybersecurity apprenticeship program.

Afterwards, Alfonso Yi, the Data Privacy Officer for a Fortune 500 global luxury brand, gave us a very informative session on the history of Data Privacy and walked us through how complicated and challenging the landscape has become.

For those that weren't able to attend, please refer to the YouTube links at the bottom of this newsletter.

I want to thank all of our speakers for their time and effort for providing our members with a memorable event. It was well received by everyone!
