There's nothing cooler than hearing from our WISP scholars years later!!
Latina in Cybersecurity | LGBT Tech Mentor | Engineer @ Syndio | Information Security Strategy
It was 2021 when I went to my first hacker’s summer camp. I was in the midst of a career pivot. Thanks to initiatives that focused on getting women and people who have traditionally been gate kept out of information security I was able to make it to Vegas. Women in Security and Privacy (WISP) is currently inviting Individuals and companies to donate to help increase representation in cyber by getting scholarships for those who traditionally would not attend In a world where you can be anything Instead of being a gate keeper, be an ally, champion, and advocate.
