The Center for Cyber Safety and Education helps create more access to cyber careers and educate those most vulnerable. From our first days in 1989 at the dawn of the internet age, a small forward-looking group of information security professionals recognized, before all others, the role that security would play in the rapid adoption of innovative new technologies. They established the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, Inc. (ISC2) to nurture an emerging new profession with the expertise, standards and ethical practices necessary to secure our economies, nations and personal lives. Today, based in the United States, ISC2 serves its global membership from its headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia.
