Our Mission: Silicon Valley Cybersecurity Institute (SVCSI), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, aims to investigate, develop, and promote technical excellence and the best security practices for dependable and secure systems and applications. With industry partners, we leverage our local communities including high schools, colleges, and universities in designing various cybersecurity activities for future cybersecurity workforce development. In particular, our center focuses on underrepresented groups to increase their interest in cybersecurity as a career. UNderrepresented groups in cyberSECurity (UNiSEC) include, and are not limited to women, persons with disabilities, and minority groups—blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, and American Indians or Alaska Natives.
