Programs Worth Your Time
Founded to address the lack of diversity in cybersecurity. Excellent program for building diverse, inclusive cybersecurity talent.
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.
Group cohort mentorship (3–5 mentees per mentor). Covers career advancement, branding, negotiation, leadership, work-life balance, and more.
Mentorship focused on helping new and prospective speakers craft strong CFPs and improve their presentation skills, run in partnership with The Mentor Project.
Crowdsourced career advice for underrepresented people. A massive open-access reference with 190,000+ volunteer professionals.
Nonprofit helping students, veterans, and career-changers break into cybersecurity through tutorials, CTFs, career guidance, community mentorship, and scholarship-funded certifications.
