Cover6 Community is one of the largest #cybersecurity communities in the nation & we've been at it since 2012.
Live & virtual meetups. Real talk. Real professionals. No gatekeeping.
Whether you're breaking in or have been in the game, you belong here.
meetup.com/cover6community
Heading to your first security conference and dreading the small talk? Bring one question: "What are you working on right now?" It works on speakers, vendors and other first-timers.

Stuck on something small and studying alone? Ask the room. Someone in our Discord has hit the same wall, and a five-minute answer beats a two-day search.

Every speaker tonight started where a lot of you are now. Got a story? A first alert, a first lab, a career switch? We'd love to hear it at a future meetup.

#Cover6Community
Afraid your question is too basic? Tonight's speakers asked the same ones not long ago. Bring yours to the chat.
First-time speakers, 6 PM ET:
