Information Security Forum
The Information Security Forum (ISF) is an independent, not-for-profit association of leading organizations from around the world. It is dedicated to investigating, clarifying and resolving key issues in information security, and developing best practice methodologies, processes and solutions that meet the business needs of its members.
ISF members benefit from harnessing and sharing in-depth knowledge and practical experience drawn from within their organizations and developed through an extensive research and work program.
Founded in 1989 (originally as the European Security Forum), the ISF has steadily expanded its mission and membership. It now includes hundreds of members, including a large number of Fortune 500 companies, with groups of members organized into regional chapters. The ISF is headquartered in London, United Kingdom, and has staff based in several cities around the world.
In addition to conducting a comprehensive benchmarking program, the ISF runs regional chapter meetings, implementation training workshops, and a large annual conference (called the 'World Congress'), as well as developing and publishing research reports and tools which address a wide variety of subjects. Its research agenda is driven entirely by its member organizations, who govern all ISF activities.
