Grow your cybersecurity career with people doing the work.
Free meetups, live streams, and Capture The Flag events for anyone breaking into cybersecurity or leveling up in it.
More Than a Meetup. A Community Built for the Work.
Cover6 Community brings together career changers, students, practitioners, and security leaders. Free meetups, live streams, and CTF events give people room to learn the work, meet the people doing it, and build proof of what they can do.
Hands-On Practice
CTF challenges and hands-on sessions where you practice the work, not just talk about it.
Proof You Can Show
Turn what you practice into write-ups, projects, and a record you can walk an employer through.
Meet People Doing the Work
Learn next to analysts, pentesters, and security leaders, and ask the questions you can’t ask at work.
