Cybersecurity Career Accelerator EXPO

Cybersecurity Career Accelerator Expo 2018 is part of the “Include Cybersecurity” initiative focusing on cybersecurity workforce development in the Sacramento Valley. Our mission is to spark interest within traditionally underrepresented groups in exploring an exciting and rewarding career in cybersecurity.  

Come and join our efforts in increasing the percentage of women (who account for only 18% of all cybersecurity professionals) and minorities (approximately 26%) in cybersecurity. We hope that by collaborating with IT companies, recruiters, academics, other special interest groups and cybersecurity industry experts, we can join the ranks of advocates bringing about positive and significant change in cybersecurity, primarily in diminishing the deficit of women and minority cybersecurity professionals and leaders.  

The Cybersecurity Career Accelerator Expo 2018 program is an opportunity for anyone interested in cybersecurity to come receive – and share – useful and relevant information critical to launching – or advancing – a career in cybersecurity. This day-long symposium will be divided into two tracks with sessions designed to benefit novice, entry-level and advanced cybersecurity professionals. The content will be presented in a combination of lectures, workshops and expert panel formats.  

Attendee Benefits:

• Make face-to-face connections with experienced industry leaders 
• Receive invaluable leads (possibly leading to internships, part- and full-time positions, etc.) Network with others either currently in cybersecurity, or sharing an interest in starting a career in cybersecurity. 
• Learn what certifications and skillsets are needed as a cybersecurity professional Attend one or more workshops offering tips on successful job-hunting, resume polishing and soft-skill development, including sessions on EQ and mindfulness practices  

Each one of us can make a difference. Together we can make change.” Barbara Mikulski (former U.S. Senator (MD)) The way to effective and positive change is action. To start a wave where there currently isn’t one is what the Include Cybersecurity team is all about.  

Together we want our City of Sacramento be put on the map as a trend leader in developing a diverse cybersecurity workforce across the nation. It is a big challenge, but one we know we can accomplish with support from city and industry leaders – and you!  

Join us in this worthy initiative. Become a change agent and a believer who knows we are critical to improving national and personal security.  

Include Cybersecurity Event 2018

Every day your news feed has a story about cybersecurity. About a friend that has to replace their credit card due to a breach. A couple that’s trying to repair their credit report due to identity theft. A business laying off staff because of losses from a phishing email.  

You are not powerless. All communities are affected by cybercrime, but not all groups of people are working together to fight back against cybercriminals. Our goal is to educate and empower job seekers of all stripes to take the plunge into the cybersecurity world. We want to dispel common myths about what it takes to succeed in a cybersecurity job so that the cybersecurity industry represents the diversity of our nation.  

Our panel discussion on September 6th, 2018 presents an opportunity for anyone interested in cybersecurity to learn firsthand from the experts what it takes to succeed. A significant portion of this event will be questions from the audience.  

The panelists and speakers are passionate cybersecurity defenders. They are experts in the field and bring first-hand knowledge of what it’s like working as part of a cybersecurity team and how to take the first steps to join this growing community.  

The skills needed to become a cybersecurity defender are within your reach! And the skills are ever changing—your diverse background and creativity are needed to continue to protect against cybercrime.  

We hope you’ll join us as we change the landscape of the cybersecurity field.
