“
We now hire cyber people only if they have mastered four essential skills. Cybersecurity degrees have not proven useful without them.”
(CISO, multi-billion dollar Silicon Valley tech leader)
“These are the skills that identify my people who actually do the work!”
(CISO, large government agency)

“Gov.
Ige
, Thank you for CyberStart.
In my high school, there are rarely any opportunities like this where someone like me who knows nothing about cybersecurity can, one, learn about it, and two, love everything about it, from the difficult puzzles to the unique challenges. Thank you so much for this opportunity. I hope that something like this will be offered again not only to me but to all those who have been waiting for this golden opportunity in their
lives!”
Carl Antiado,
H.P. Baldwin High School, Grade 11
