ISSA Honor Roll placement is given to ISSA members in good standing who have provided sustained contributions to the information security community, advanced ISSA's mission and goals and enhanced the professionalism of ISSA's membership.

As a former president of ISSA's Northern Virginia Chapter (ISSA-NOVA), Noble took innovative steps to foster strong partnerships with other information security organizations, including (ISC)2, for the purposes of implementing shared information security workforce initiatives and projecting a more positive image of the information security profession, both within the field and beyond.

"In being chosen for this accolade, Marc Noble joins very distinguished company including (ISC)2 founders, former executive directors and board members," says W. Hord Tipton, CISSP-ISSEP, CAP, CISA, (ISC)2 executive director and former chief information officer for the U.S. Department of Interior.

Noble, who was named (ISC)2 director of government affairs earlier this year, has 30 years of federal government experience, including responsibilities as the chief information security officer of the Federal Communications Commission and as senior information security analyst for the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

He has also been a tireless advocate in his off-hours for information security professionals and their efforts to secure the nation's infrastructure. Noble was given the ISSA President's Award for Public Service in 2007 for his contributions as president of  ISSA's Northern Virginia Chapter (ISSA-NOVA) and also served as a working group member of the Center for Strategic and International Studies' Commission on Cyber Security for the 44th Presidency. He continues to work for ISSA goals in his current position as senior vice president of ISSA-NOVA and has served on (ISC)2's U.S. Government Advisory Board since 2003.
