Our Mission

We work to reduce barriers into cyber security and STEM related careers by developing traditional and nontraditional pathways.

Increasing women and minority diversity increases cognitive diversity towards solving cybersecurity problems. Our Center for Women & Minorities in the Cyber Workforce is working with partners like ISC2 Center for Cyber Safety and Education, Markel Foundation’s Skillful, the National CyberWatch Center, Discover Goodwill, CareerWise, Fourth Axis Games and more, to increase the number of women and minorities in cyber.
Removing barriers of entry and interest is key to increasing the workforce. Our Center for Cyber Risk Research & Policy is working with partners like the Space Foundation, New York University, Blekinge Institute of Technology, the National CyberWatch Center, NATO and many more to define impactful policy and develop innovative curriculum to accelerate opportunities in cyber. We believe in the power of collaborative partnerships to enable greater collective impact.
