Triangle InfoSeCon is the largest annual Information Security conference in the area and is the flagship event of the Raleigh Chapter of the Information System Security Association.  Our mission is simple; we want to train and educate as many people as possible about the importance of Information Security.  To accomplish that mission we hold training events during our monthly meetings, and we have our annual CISSP Review.  Also, we support the Cyber Patriot program geared toward getting high school students interested and involved in Information Security.  Lastly, we provide scholarships to local schools in support of Information Security curriculums.  As an organization, we believe that Information Security is both the present and the future, and it is incumbent upon us to try to influence the decision makers of today and to train the security leaders of tomorrow.  This event is our premier showcase of that mission and directly funds our efforts throughout the year.
