For Candidates
The problem

Potential is hard to see
without proof.

A resume alone rarely shows the learning, practice, and consistency behind your next cybersecurity role. Chrysalus gives that work a place to live.

📤

Scattered Evidence

Certifications, labs, write-ups, projects, and community work end up in different places. The story of your growth gets lost.

🤷

Skills Are Hard to Signal

Credentials matter, but practice and contributions show how you work. Candidates need a clear way to document both.

How it works

Four steps to a stronger
career record.

Start with what you have, add evidence as you grow, and keep your next step visible.

Step 01
🎯

Choose Your Track

Pick one of six tracks — Breaking Into Cyber, SOC Analyst, Penetration Tester, Cloud Security, GRC & Compliance, or vCISO — and use it to guide your learning. Not sure? Take the Career Path assessment.

Step 02
📈

Build Your Evidence

Document certifications, labs, CTFs, projects, write-ups, and contributions as you complete them.

Step 03
🏅

Earn Your Core Score

Finish courses, pass final quizzes, verify your certifications and log CPE hours. Each one moves your score out of 100.

Step 04
🧭

Prepare for Discovery

Employer discovery will be offered only when it is available. Until then, your profile keeps your proof and next steps in one place.

The Core Score

100 points. Four parts.
Every point earned.

Every point comes from work Cover6 can check: the courses you finish, the final quizzes you pass, and the certifications we verify.

The 401k philosophy

Treat your career like a 401(k).

Regular contributions compound. Every lab, certification, write-up, and community contribution can become part of the evidence you carry forward.

“You don’t have to use Cover6 products to build a stronger record. Legitimate knowledge contributions count. The point is to make your progress visible to you first.”
Access

Free. No catch.

Chrysalus is free for candidates. Build a verified career profile, organize your Core Score, and use it to support your learning and job-search decisions.

$0

Employer discovery will be announced when the experience is ready. There is nothing to buy or unlock in the meantime.

Questions

What you’re probably wondering.

Do I have to use Cover6 Academy courses?

No. Cover6 Academy can support your learning, but your record can include legitimate third-party certifications, CTFs, projects, blogs, and other evidence.

Is this really free?

Yes. Chrysalus is free for candidates. There is no credit card, trial period, or paywall.

Can employers discover my profile today?

No. Employer discovery is not currently open. We will announce it through Chrysalus and The 6 when it is available.

What does the Core Score mean?

It's a 100-point snapshot of your progress: the highest level you've earned on a track, your final-quiz scores, the certifications we've verified, and the CPE hours you've logged with Cover6 in the last year. It updates on its own as you learn.

Build your evidence.
Be ready for what’s next.
