A series of short classes designed to teach the major concepts of the world of cyber security in a corporate context

The Women In Cybersecurity Community Association comes to you this summer with an exclusive bootcamp of 6 sessions designed to teach the major concepts of the world of cybersecurity in a corporate context.

What you will learn<ul><li>Cybersecurity isn't just technical. It's a partnership between multiple disciplines, and we will explain where and how it plays a role within your organization. </li><li>What is Security Testing and why is it important? Red teaming, pentesting, bug bounties—what do they entail?</li><li>How do we ensure the security of our organization? What is Blue Teaming? What makes a good CERT?</li><li>How do we work toward preventing security incidents? </li><li>What is Threat Hunting? What is DevSecOps?</li><li>How do we train our employees to be more secure?</li><li>How do we communicate all that to relevant parties within the organization that all come from multiple disciplines?</li></ul>PricingAs per our philosophy, the Summer School is free. However, we use a pay-what-you-want system, which is the occasion for us to collect donations. It’s simple math: the more we get, the more we can do.
