Welcome to the ISC2 Islamabad Chapter, we hope to serve you with warmth and a mission to build a secure and protected digital world.
Islamabad Chapter is one of the leading ISC2 communities in South Asia. Over the past years, our dedicated leadership team has worked tirelessly to develop this beautiful all-inclusive community, serving a purpose as a force for good across Pakistan's cybersecurity landscape.
A proud and meaningful milestone for the ISC2 Islamabad Chapter and Pakistan's cybersecurity community.
This strategic collaboration between National CERT Pakistan and the ISC2 Islamabad Chapter represents more than an MoU — it is a commitment to collectively strengthen Pakistan's cybersecurity ecosystem through capacity building, professional development, knowledge exchange, research, mentorship, and collaboration across government, academia, and industry.
Our focus now is on turning this collaboration into tangible initiatives, measurable outcomes, and lasting impact for cybersecurity professionals, students, academia, government institutions, and the broader digital ecosystem of Pakistan.
Together, we can build a stronger, more resilient, and globally competitive cybersecurity community.
Looking forward to an impactful journey ahead.

Our Story So Far
In 2020, during the ISC2 regional conference, a group of committed young professionals first met with a shared vision of building a thriving community for security professionals in Islamabad. What started as an idea among passionate colleagues has flourished beyond what any of us could have imagined.
Today, the chapter stands strong with over 500 members across Pakistan. Together, we've coordinated more than 25 engaging events — thanks in large part to the unwavering support of local Islamabad and Rawalpindi companies who generously opened their doors, providing us with venues and refreshments.
Our heartfelt thanks to the National CERT, Internet Society Islamabad Chapter, and the many sponsors who have backed us throughout the years. Your commitment has empowered our members to connect, learn, and raise the bar for our profession.
