Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) August 30, 2016 -- (ISC)²® (“ISC-squared”) today announced it has appointed eight new members to its U.S. Government Advisory Council (USGAC). The diverse group of new council members will be introduced at the USGAC’s year-end meeting in Alexandria, Virginia, on December 8, 2016. They are as follows:

"I am confident in this group’s collective ability to represent the needs of an increasingly diverse workforce as we endeavor to build and nurture the rapid growth of cybersecurity within government," says Dan Waddell.

This distinguished group of volunteer advisors provides insight and advice to the (ISC)² executive management team on government policies and programs that affect the cybersecurity profession and on certifications for U.S. cybersecurity professionals. Additionally, it sponsors community outreach initiatives such as the (ISC)² Government Information Security Leadership Awards (GISLAs), the (ISC)² U.S. Government Advisory Council Executive Writers Bureau (GAC EWB) and the CyberSecureGov annual training event.

The (ISC)² USGAC is one of several (ISC)² advisory councils representing cybersecurity professionals worldwide. Other councils advise on cybersecurity workforce issues specific to North America, Latin America, Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) and Asia-Pacific.
