We are an all-volunteer group of professionals and enthusiasts dedicated to building Information Security skills, professionalism, and personal networks in the Roanoke Valley region. Our members consist of IT professionals and those wishing to learn more about cybersecurity topics such as students and educators. Meetings are generally held on the second Thursday of each month in a local school or IT-related business. Speakers include RISE members, local professionals, and occasional guest professionals from outside the region.
RISE fosters a close-knit community and runs informal meetings that focus on the people and technology rather than a particular product or agenda. Meetings are free to attend (usually so is the beer!) and open to the public. All are welcome to come out, enjoy free information on Information Security, and expand their professional network.
