As part of this partnership, PDA has offered a full scholarship to its rapidly growing cybersecurity leadership certificate from this 12-week program developed by General Colin Powell and some of the industry’s leading CISOs ($1,500 scholarship) for all ICIT members.
In return, all PDA customers and partners will receive 50% off an annual ICIT membership whose benefits includes a weekly “From the Hill” legislative and federal agency intelligence report, complimentary access to the ThreatX Academy, member-only pricing to training programs and educational events; InfoSec World (ISW), and Identiverse, and invitation’s to ICIT briefings and events. Membership dues are used to support research and educational initiatives from ICIT, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
“We are honored to join forces with PDA to leverage their unique and highly complementary training platform to strengthen the cybersecurity workforce and help cultivate the next generation of cybersecurity leaders, a key pillar of ICIT’s mission,” said Parham Eftekhari, founder and chairman of ICIT.
Cyversity was created as a 501(c)3 non-profit association dedicated to the academic and professional success of minority cybersecurity students and professionals. Cyversity tackles the ‘great cyber divide’ with scholarship opportunities, diverse workforce development, innovative outreach, and mentoring programs.
ICIT is the nation’s leading cybersecurity think tank providing objective, nonpartisan research, advisory, and education to legislative, commercial, and public-sector cybersecurity stakeholders. ICIT’s mission is to cultivate a cybersecurity renaissance that will improve the resiliency of our Nation’s 16 critical infrastructure sectors, defend our democratic institutions, and empower generations of cybersecurity leaders.
