Neurodiversity in Cybersecurity Summit 2023:

Attend sessions In-Person after class on Tuesday, April 4

Session 1: Higher Ed: Navigating Continuing Education and Industry Certifications

6:15 pm - 6:50 pm ET

Many neurodivergent adults carry trauma from being educated in a school system not designed for them, which often failed to recognize their strengths or provide the conditions necessary to thrive. The idea of voluntarily going “back to school,” whether to pursue an advanced degree or earn industry credentials, can be daunting, but career advancement often depends on it. Our panel includes SANS instructors, authors, courseware engineers, and GIAC certification experts who can share their own strategies for success and suggestions for your own educational path.

Support Systems: Building a Network of Resources and Allies

6:55 pm - 7:30 pm ET

We all need a little help sometimes, and when those times arise, it’s essential to have an existing support network to turn to. Kassandra and Steph will share their experiences with finding supportive communities, including the WiCyS Neurodiversity Affiliate. They’ll discuss what works for them in finding personal and professional allies and other resources for success.
