CYBR.SEC.Events

will welcome 150 students in grades 9–12 from across the region to , giving them the opportunity to experience cybersecurity firsthand, connect with industry professionals, and see what a future in our field could look like.

And for every student, the experience is completely free.

That means covering transportation assistance when needed, meals, event space at the George R. Brown Convention Center, event shirts, programming, and more.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, relies on the support of our community to make that possible - and we’re currently significantly behind our fundraising goal, particularly when it comes to the cost of feeding 150 students.

We need our cybersecurity community to help us close the gap.
