What is Minorities in Cybersecurity (MiC)?

In a word? Community. 

Minorities in Cybersecurity (MiC) was developed out of a unique passion to help fill the gap that exists in leadership development of cybersecurity professionals. It is our mission to provide practical knowledge, training, development, and support to our members with the sole purpose of preparing them to become the next generation of global cybersecurity leaders.     

Our Vision

The vision for MiC is to build a strong community of cybersecurity professionals who come together to support one another. MiC's leadership development and training opportunities are provided to assist professionals at all levels in their cybersecurity career journey.

Our Programs are specifically designed to assist individuals with the "corporate survival skills" (what others call "soft skills") they need to build their career. Whether an individual is categorized as MiC Aspirers™, MiC Builders™, MiC Communicators™ or MiC Directors™ they will receive the leadership development and training opportunities needed exactly where they are on their journey.
  • MiC Aspirers™ are defined as those professionals looking to get into the cybersecurity space. Whether they are in college, college graduates, or transitioning.
  • MiC Builders™ are defined as those in their first cybersecurity role and building their subject matter expertise in the field.
  • MiC Communicators™ are those individual contributors moving to people leadership.
  • MiC Directors™ are those in or moving into an executive level role. 

Why the Need for MiC?

The shortage of talent in the cybersecurity industry is well documented. The question is how do we start building and developing the talent pipeline? The work is hard, but it is worth it!

The MiC Community understands, just like there is no silver bullet solution to solve all your cybersecurity risks, there is not just one way to tackle the shortage of talent in the cybersecurity industry. Our programs and services focus on both the technical and non-technical skills needed to make a well-rounded cybersecurity professional.

MiC makes an investment in professionals at all levels by introducing them to qualities, traits, and skills to help them navigate their entire career. We believe with the right level of support, resources, and leadership development opportunities we can help fill the cybersecurity talent pipeline with individuals ready to step in and be successful from entry level to the C-level and beyond.
