#ShareTheMicInCyber Fellowship!

The movement continues.

In partnership with New America, we are building a #ShareTheMicInCyber Cybersecurity Fellowship.

A first-of-its-kind program, the #ShareTheMicinCyber fellowship will provide cybersecurity professionals from diverse backgrounds with an opportunity to conduct policy research and analysis, explore critical cyber security issues, lead technical projects, and explore questions of diversity and the human side of cybersecurity.
