“My sincere thanks to WiCyS for providing opportunities and uplifting career changers like me. I have got accepted into the WiCyS Fortinet NSE4 certification program and with the support of an awesome community of talented women and the Fortinet training institute, I got my NSE4 certification. I have gained subject knowledge in network devices and network security which gave me the confidence to work in the field. I look forward to giving back to WiCyS community.”

“The multi-tiered Security Training Scholarship allowed me to gain invaluable technical skills from CTF and gamified learning platform, it further provided insight into the right cybersecurity path for me from the CyberGEN IQ assessment. Through this program, I was able to network with ingenious professionals/mentors from the industry, it has been a privilege to be a part of this supportive and inspiring cohort.”
