Its most recent dated activity is the April 13, 2026 joint meeting with ISC2 Hawaii and SailPoint on identity security; it also co-hosted the February 19, 2026 resume workshop.

ISC2 Hawaii Chapter
Entrepreneurs Sandbox, 643 Ilalo St, Kakaʻako, Honolulu · In the city
Monthly membership meeting, usually a weekday evening in the second half of the month (recent meetings 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. with networking from 5:30 p.m.); dates are posted on the chapter calendar
Monthly meetings are free for chapter members, ISACA Hawaii members and non-members, with registration required; the chapter's mixers (such as the July 30, 2026 summer mixer) are members-only. You do not need an ISC2 certification to join as an associate or student member. The chapter also runs CyberGenerations scam-awareness talks for seniors and supports CyberPatriot. The October membership meeting, on Copilot security with VPLS and Cyber Kiaʻi, was scheduled for October 22, 2026; no report of it had been posted on 2026-10-23, so last_activity stays at the September 16, 2026 meeting (which included chapter elections).

Members-only meetings; no public schedule
Covers Hawaii and Guam. Membership requires FBI vetting. The official site warns that infragardhawaii.website is not affiliated with the chapter. The site shows no dated events. The most recent dated evidence is a December 22, 2025 FBI Honolulu post reporting a chapter meeting it had hosted; the post does not give the meeting date.

Student club; no public meeting schedule
Competition club for Honolulu CC's Computing, Security and Networking Technologies program and its alumni at UH West Oʻahu.

The exact April 2026 competition day was not given, so last_activity uses April 1. The college's own program page did not load on 2026-10-23 (timeout), so the UH News articles are the sources.
