Twenty-one GPSU learners recently kicked off their summer at GuidePoint Security HQ in Reston, VA, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them here!

Through GuidePoint Security University (GPSU), learners build hands-on cybersecurity skills, connect with our teams and get a front-row seat to the work that drives real-world security outcomes. This year’s Summer Onboarding also brought in members of the local cyber community to help welcome them into the field.

A tremendous thank you to our sponsors for making this experience possible: ArmorCode Inc., CrowdStrike, Dropzone AI, ExtraHop, ORION Security, TrendAI, Veracode and Wiz.io.
