Programs Worth Your Time

Cyversity16-week 1:1 mentorship
$100/year ($20 for students/veterans)

Founded to address the lack of diversity in cybersecurity. Excellent program for building diverse, inclusive cybersecurity talent.

Jen's note

I've been through 4 rounds of Cyversity mentorship: as a group mentee, as a 1:1 mentee twice, and as a mentor. I've really grown through it and met some incredible people. Your mentor may not be in CTI specifically, but the program is worth it for the community and events alone. Highly recommend.
