India Chapter

About our India Chapter

The growth of the cybersecurity talent gap widens and outpaces formal education, organizations hiring strategies, and external pipeline development programs. A mindset shift is needed for organizations to bring a diverse talent into the organization with no college degrees or any technical experience in cybersecurity. An unique opportunity for all of us to join together to make a difference and bring in new talent into our organization. It is our time to give back to those that are in need to find a pathway in their career.
The India Chapter is the newest addition to NextGen Cyber Talent, and the board is dedicated to expanding our mission globally. By tailoring programs to the unique challenges and opportunities in the region, the India Chapter aims to empower underserved communities with the skills and access needed to thrive in cybersecurity careers.

The India Chapter board meets our diverse community of underserved where they are to help them navigate a career in cybersecurity.

Join us as a benefactor, business sponsor, educational institution, or executive mentor. Please drop us a note to learn how you can contribute to defending today, securing tomorrow, and promoting a diverse cyber community in India.
