About NextGen Cyber Talent

Lack of awareness about cyber security and rapidly changing cyber landscape has made this domain not so popular among the millennials amidst a wide range of demand in the market. At NextGen we train students and professionals on cyber security and data management with a uniquely designed course curriculum put together by our team of industry experts and coaches.

We seek to educate the diverse community of professionals on cybersecurity and empower the next generation of talents by designing a career in cybersecurity and data protection by partnering with the community at large.

We serve and support organizations who need quality cybersecurity professionals and are committed to embrace diverse talents.
