We Exist to Expand Boundaries and Shrink Troubling Gaps

Our Holistic Purpose:
Global Security

We’re founded on the realization that true cybersecurity relies on an ecosystem of connected cross-sector organizations. We also understand that the current state of cyber makes it so that each organization is incentivized to only manage within its own boundaries, creating very real silos.

These silos create gaps like disparities in knowledge, talent, standards, sector practices, infrastructure, and scale. Each poses a common threat to the whole community. And we're out to change this.

By joining together stakeholders and communities that have historically been siloed or excluded across the cybersecurity industry, we believe we can curb the exponential rise in cybercrime.

That's why we focus our efforts on:
01 Workforce Development
02 Industry
Collaboration
03 Innovation Advancement
