I hope I could join any one of the following communities asap.

1. CERT

CERT is an organization devoted to ensuring that appropriate technology and systems management practices are used to resist attacks on networked systems and to limiting damage and ensure continuity of critical services in spite of successful attacks, accidents, or failures.

CERT is located at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) operated by Carnegie Mellon University.

CERT is the most famous community in my area. They have standardized all the vulnerabilites of cyber systems and it is very important to analyze the potential risk of one system or network.


2. SARMA
The Security Analysis and Risk Management Association (SARMA) is an all-volunteer, non-profit professional association serving those responsible for analyzing and managing security risks to systems, structures and operations from man-made threats. SARMA was created to provide a forum for the further development, standardization, and professionalization of the security analysis and risk management discipline. It is dedicated to providing leadership, education, and certification for security analysis and risk management professionals.

SARMA is not a particular computer science community since it also includes mechanical and other subjects that need risk management. However, risk management and analysis is similar in different areas thus it is not the excuse for not to join SARMA.

3. SIGSAC
The ACM Special Interest Group on Security, Audit and Control's mission is to develop the information security profession by sponsoring high-quality research conferences and workshops. SIGSAC conferences address all aspects of information and system security, encompassing security technologies, secure systems, security applications, and security policies. Security technologies include access control, assurance, authentication, cryptography, intrusion detection, penetration techniques, risk analysis, and secure protocols. Security systems include security in operating systems, database systems, networks and distributed systems, and middleware. Representative security applications areas are information systems, workflow systems, electronic commerce, electronic cash, copyright and intellectual property protection, telecommunications systems, and healthcare. Security polices encompass confidentiality, integrity, availability, privacy, and survivability policies, including tradeoff and conflicts amongst these.

ACM, the community that every scholar in computation area should join!!

4. SRA
The Society for Risk Analysis is a multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, scholarly, international society that provides an open forum for all those who are interested in risk analysis. Risk analysis is broadly defined to include risk assessment, risk characterization, risk communication, risk management, and policy relating to risk, in the context of risks of concern to individuals, to public and private sector organizations, and to society at a local, regional, national, or global level.

SRA is another big community dedicated for risk analysis that I wanna join.
