Alan Paller Memorial Cyber Talent Emergency Fund

It is with deep sadness that the WiCyS family reports it has lost an ally, mentor, friend, and innovator in Alan Paller, founder of SANS Technology Institute. Alan believed in WiCyS from the start, supporting our founder, Dr. Ambareen Siraj, through the growth and development of the conference and entire nonprofit organization. He championed women in cybersecurity and made strong contributions to our community with his commitment to building a stronger cybersecurity workforce. This is a profound loss for so many. 
 
We extend our sincere condolences to the Paller family. To honor Alan’s name from here and forever, we launched the Alan Paller Memorial Cyber Talent Emergency Fund. This fund provides agile financial support for female students pursuing cybersecurity careers who are experiencing urgent, short-term financial barriers to success. The gratitude we have for Alan and the SANS Institute will forever be a part of the entire WiCyS organization.
