The CyberForward program was initially launched in partnership with Orange County United Way’s UpSkill OC program in June of 2019. Since the completion of the first wave of participants from identification all the way to working careers in cyber security at a livable wage, the program has continued to accelerate in both the number of individuals that want to participate, as well as hiring organizations that want to employ them.

To date, over 80 individuals have participated in the program, with the goal to enable hundreds more the opportunity throughout 2020.

“The name CyberForward was chosen to illustrate the win-win nature of this program in both helping organizations move their security programs forward through the supply of qualified individuals, while at the same time helping program participants move their lives forward with valuable cyber security skills and a livable wage career,” says Mike Gentile, Founder, President and CEO of CISOSHARE.
