Overview

In 2022, over 700,000 cybersecurity-related jobs went unfilled. With the growing need for more diverse talent and the reality that Black professionals face many barriers to entry, the time is now to address this issue.

You are invited to join the R Street Institute’s Making Space Initiative during Black History Month as we bring together cybersecurity professionals to discuss the state of careers for practitioners in the field. The program will also provide insight to those seeking to break in or transition into cybersecurity.
