Success Story: BiaSciLab

Greatness is not bound by age

BiaSciLab founded girlswhohack.com, won a cyber range event and educates young girls about security
home: Elizabeth Kolade

Predisposed to Security

Elizabeth was always driven to science and engineering, so security was a natural destination
Not enough people go into security to feed the need for talent

Most educational institutions have marginalized security to specialized tracks, women and minorities are not adequately represented, and it can be perceived as a profession only for the elite technical few.

Our goal is simple:  spark interest in this exciting profession by making it easy to get started, be challenged, and yes – have fun with security.

How?

#1. Learn by doing.
Cyber ranges build skills and confidence in a hands-on, engaging way.  To showcase their power, we opened up our Instafriends range to this community

#2. Community Support.
Collaboration accelerates knowledge transfer and progress towards our common objective a safer cyber world.

If you are interested in partnering to bring security to those who are underrepresented or have limited access, we’d love to hear from you.
