The Center for Cyber Safety and Education , the charitable foundation of (ISC)² founded in 2011, aims to grow the cybersecurity profession and its positive impact on the world by raising awareness, building a diverse pipeline of cybersecurity professionals and activating a more secure digital world.

Originally, the Center was created to serve as the home for cyber safety awareness programs and a place for the next generation of cyber professionals to receive educational scholarships. However, as the modern cybersecurity landscape has intensified and the global workforce gap of needed cybersecurity professionals has increased, (ISC)² is committed to meeting these demands. The Center will support new pathways for more cybersecurity professionals to begin their career while remaining dedicated to raising awareness and help build a pipeline of diverse cybersecurity professionals; thus, creating a more safe and secure cyber world. 

The mission of the Center has evolved to meet this global need and now stands on these three program pillars:  

• Reach and Inspire  – increasing knowledge of cyber threats and awareness of cyber career options 
• Engage and Elevate – building a diverse pipeline of future cybersecurity professionals and addressing challenges current cyber workers face that can lead to leaving the profession 
• Activate and Impact – providing cybersecurity resources to underserved organizations
