Lifting the
Next Generation of
Cyber Defenders.
We are a workforce development organization for underrepresented and underserved communities.
VISION
Increasing diversity of thought in the field of Cybersecurity to promote a safer digital world.
MISSION
We empower underrepresented individuals to forge successful cybersecurity careers. Through mentorship, educational programs, and career development resources, we ignite their potential, fuel economic mobility, and build a more inclusive generation of cyber defenders.
OUR LOGO
Raíces stands for Heritage but also means Roots in Spanish.
We picked Raíces because it represents our Combined Hispanic Roots and, also as a play on the word, ROOT which plays a special importance to us in the Cyber Security Field.
The Colors Represent the areas of CyberSecurity.
Red for Offensive Operations,
Blue For Defensive Operations and
Purple for Operations where we ALL come together.
Raíces is an all-inclusive community where Hispanics, Latinos, and our Allies come together in a single Voice to Grow the ROOTS stronger for the Community!
An Organization Powered by Volunteers
Raíces Cyber is powered by dozens of volunteers committed to closing the opportunity and salary gap for ALL.
Our volunteers are active in:
Establishing and running Raíces Cyber Professional, Collegiate, and High School chapters across the United States of America,
Developing educational workshops that meet the current needs of the field,
Coaching and Mentoring new cyber defenders to further develop their careers.
Promoting our organization and program offer, and
Securing the necessary resources to strengthen our organization.
