ISSA Selects Wisegate, a 451 Research Community, as Peer Networking Platform for CISO's
New York, NY (PRWEB) July 27, 2017 -- Wisegate, a 451 Research company, today announced that the Information Systems Security Association (ISSA) has chosen Wisegate to support its CISO Executive members with Wisegate’s peer networking platform. Using the Wisegate platform, ISSA’s CISO Executive members can securely collaborate and help one another discover new solutions to strategy, technical and personnel challenges.
ISSA’s CISO Executive members will use Wisegate to communicate and collaborate privately with other members of their group as well as with the wider Wisegate community – a subscription-based, vendor-free network of vetted senior IT practitioners.
One of the goals for ISSA’s CISO Executive membership is to allow its invitation-only members to freely share concerns, successes and feedback in a peer-only environment. By choosing Wisegate's secure platform, ISSA is helping its CISO members get the fast answers and the IT wisdom they need to create and implement strategies, select technologies, manage teams and achieve goals.
Wisegate connects members with the most relevant peers and content using a matching algorithm based on members’ experiences and interactions. Its private, curated website and mobile app also provide access to a growing library of peer-to-peer content, such as security policies, job descriptions and presentation templates. Its personal concierge service, live roundtable calls, Q&A sessions, polls and brokered one-on-one peer discussions make it easy for Wisegate members to exchange information, insight and advice. The user experience is both private and trusted, and is curated by Wisegate and 451 Research.
"Being part of the Wisegate community of senior IT practitioners provides a lot of value to me in my job," said ISSA CISO Executive leader Wayne Proctor, VP of IT Information Security at WestRock and a Wisegate Founding Member. "The peer-to-peer knowledge sharing will also add high value to ISSA’s CISO Executive members. We are excited about this new partnership."
"ISSA is increasing its value as an organization by enabling its CISO members to share their experiences and wisdom with each other and the wider Wisegate community," said Sara Gates, Senior Vice President at 451 Research and cofounder of Wisegate. "ISSA chose Wisegate for its ease of collaboration and the deep expertise of its growing community of senior executives. It is now easy for ISSA’s CISO executive members to run discussion threads and share documents with other members and remain engaged between their quarterly meetings."
