Partner with Cyber NYC

We are looking for partners to help train the next generation of New York City’s cybersecurity workforce.

Cyber NYC provides access to local, diverse talent, helping source participants for internships to provide you with extra support from those with fresh learnings and new ideas. It also gives you an early look at the next generation of talent and a pipeline for your future talent needs.

In addition, the program provides partners with networking opportunities with leaders in New York City’s cybersecurity industry and City government.

The program also provides branding and marketing opportunities as a participant in a high-profile initiative with presence on the Cyber NYC website, at events, and in other marketing and PR materials.
