A New Era Needs A New Way!
Traditional cyber security training programs are lengthy and filled with technical concepts. What's more, they prepare masses of students for highly competitive roles, and advertise job placement assistance with employers who are also seeking elsewhere.
CyberForward utilizes a rapid development model to quickly prepare participants for exclusive roles at our hiring partners.

How Does It Work?
Sourcing Hidden Talent
Community and mentor partners help review and nominate candidates.
A short informational session and workshop is conducted and interested participants are assessed to ensure the greatest chance of success.
Once complete, a diverse pool of talent is set to move on to the next phase.
Foundational Training
Training begins with foundational network and security concepts.
Participants will learn about the internet, a brief history, and important elements necessary for making sense of security tasks.
Business concepts and relevant soft skills key to success in security roles are also introduced.
Work-Based Learning
Learn cyber security tasks by doing it just like the experts.
We leverage our network of hiring partners and mentors to provide real world scenarios.
Industry experts, such as CISOs and Security Engineers, immerse participants through hands-on projects.
Capstone Project
Gain confidence and hands on experience alongside security professionals
Participants will have an opportunity to highlight everything they've learned by working on a capstone project.
In a world where experience is key, a security project on your resumé can make a difference.
