Dear ISC2 members, associates and candidates,

2024 was a year of profound change, challenge and opportunity. Cybersecurity professionals experienced cutbacks in investment and job prospects, despite the acceleration of technologies like AI and an increasingly sophisticated threat landscape. Yet, as always, ISC2 members continued to rise above, tackling these challenges head-on. It’s amazing what this community is capable of, even during times of adversity! Your unwavering support and dedication to the cybersecurity mission and our association are commendable. Your passion and innovative ideas make our community unique, and as a member association, we aim to support you—every step of the way.

We took strides to ensure we enhanced the value of ISC2 membership for our nearly 263,000 members and associates. Together, we achieved several key milestones that reflect our continued commitment to supporting you and the entire global cybersecurity community.

  • We advocated for ISC2-certified professionals with global cybersecurity leaders and ensured your voice is represented in policy development.
  • All ISC2 certifications are approved for use in the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) 8140 directive, helping you obtain and retain cybersecurity jobs.
  • Our One Million Certified in Cybersecurity program continued to expand access to the profession with free training and exams for the Certified in Cybersecurity certification.
  • With the help of hundreds of volunteers worldwide, we evaluated the ISC2 Common Bodies of Knowledge and are combining them into a Unified Body of Knowledge.
  • And with 159 global Chapters, thousands of members connected with their local communities, shared knowledge and grew their professional networks.

On behalf of the entire ISC2 team, thank you for your membership, your volunteer efforts and all you do to create a safe and secure cyber world.
