What Our Clients Say About Us

"It was so encouraging to see so many students engaged in cybersecurity, talking about and asking questions around real-life scenarios."
Benazeer Daruwella
Chief Information Security Officer and Founder, Cyber Minds Solutions)
“Cybersecurity isn't one of those careers where you need to start or finish college to get into it. There are free resources and certifications you can take to get you ready for entry-level positions, and you can continue your growth while you're employed. That's what makes this program really interesting is it starts you early on. I wish I had that opportunity."
Arlenee Lopez
Chief Information Security Officer, Summit Trail Advisors)
"This is a true model. It's not a concept. This program has created the foundation for success. Everybody that I've talked to today: motivated, ready to go, knowing what they want, self-confident, self-awareness, have a plan in mind really to tackle early in life, even in the mock interview, walking into that room with confidence, knowing what they're about, able to answer questions, unbelievable."
