WHO WE ARE

VetSec is where veterans go to find a world-class community that is here to help them find meaningful employment in cybersecurity. Our vision is to create a world where no veteran pursuing a career in cybersecurity goes unemployed. We do this, first and foremost, by creating a community welcoming all veterans and transitioning military. Second, we partner with world-class training providers to help with low or no-cost training for our members. Finally, we couple that with events to assist in hiring those that have served, like conference participation and our own virtual conference, VetSecCon.

We are a home for those who served – those who are transitioning into or wanting to upskill into cybersecurity. We offer a community of like-minded veterans and a bridge to transition from the military into meaningful employment, with resources and guidance along the way.

Mission

To provide education, employment, and transition assistance to veterans seeking a career in cybersecurity.
