If the Bay Area community college program is successful, nightdragon and NextGenCyberT are looking to expand the model to other states and community college systems and hope that the industry will join them.
Countless attacks and security breaches at companies big and small have left people wondering: Where are all the cybersecurity experts?
NightDragon Vice President Amy De Salvatore was motivated to pursue the effort when former Salesforce Chief Trust Officer and NightDragon advisor Jim Alkove asked her, “Did you know it only takes $950,000 to fund all cybersecurity students in the Bay Area going to community colleges for a full year?”
Though the nonprofit has done this in the past, never before has there been an industrywide effort to raise money for cybersecurity students in this way, according to Krishnan Chellakarai, founder of NextGen and chief information security officer of Gilead Sciences.
