The weather may have been cool and blustery, but the energy was anything but!

More than 80 ISC2 New Jersey Chapter members gathered at Alvin P. Williams Memorial Park for our annual Spring Picnic, enjoying an afternoon filled with great conversations, delicious food, music, games, and community. It was wonderful to see so many members joined by their spouses, children, and even a few four-legged friends.

A special thank you to our picnic planning committee and volunteers who helped make this event a success. Events like these remind us that our chapter is more than a professional network, it's a community.

Missed this one? Don't worry! We'll be back together again for our Fall Picnic.

• Building programs that scale with the business
• Establishing strong governance foundations
• Gaining executive alignment and support
• Creating long-term resilience
• Lessons learned from enterprise environments

Whether you’re a security practitioner, aspiring leader, executive, or student entering the field, this episode offers valuable perspective on designing Information Security programs that are built to last.

The holiday weekend storm rolled in, but Lucy stayed unbothered.
Resilience in action, powered by last year’s conference towel and an elite shake-off. Rain scenario: mitigated. Proof that our conference swag isn’t just for show, it’s real-world ready. Not all heroes wear capes, some are conference towels!
That same spirit is what SECON NJ is all about.
Join us June 11, 2026 at Kean University as we bring the cybersecurity community together! Looking forward to building momentum, strengthening connections, and staying ready for whatever comes next. Rain or shine.
