Our Purpose

MiC was developed out of a unique passion to help fill the gap that exists in the support and development of women and minority leaders in the cybersecurity field. Through our programming we hope too close that gap by recognizing those unique challenges and provide a community of resources, knowledge, career development and support for our members.
