We’re building the next generation of Latina leaders in cyber.
A more diverse cyber industry is more readily able to meet an evolving world of cyber threats and opportunities.
Our mission
We are building cybersecurity pathways and creating the next generation of cyber-Latina leaders, by offering Latinas with community, networking, education, and resources in cybersecurity.
Go far, together.
We recognize that Latinas are underrepresented in this industry and face unique challenges. Therefore, we strive to provide a supportive and inclusive community where Latinas can connect with like-minded individuals, share knowledge, develop professional skills, and accelerate their career.
Impactful programming.
We provide carefully curated programming in collaboration with key partners.
