Cover6 Community is an inclusive, hands-on cybersecurity community founded in 2012. Our sessions help beginners, career changers, and self-taught learners build real skills through practical demos and guided walkthroughs—taught through a CISO lens (risk, priorities, and real-world decision-making).
When we meet: Every two weeks (typically Wednesdays @ 6:00 PM ET)
Format: Virtual (YouTube Live) + interactive Q&A
Topics: Home labs, OSINT, scanning/enumeration, vulnerability management, logging/SIEM basics, incident response, cloud/identity fundamentals, and career development.

CFP Description
We welcome practical, beginner-friendly talks and demos that help attendees build skills they can apply immediately. Talks can be technical or career-focused, but should be clear, structured, and actionable.
Formats we accept: - Talks (30–45 min) + Q&A - Workshops (60–90 min, hands-on encouraged) - Lightning talks (5–10 min)
Suggested topics: - Home labs & learning paths - OSINT / passive recon - Scanning & enumeration (Nmap, service discovery) - Vulnerability management (how to prioritize) - Logging/SIEM fundamentals - Incident response basics (first 60 minutes) - Cloud/Identity fundamentals (IAM, Azure/AWS basics) - Career roadmaps, portfolios, and interview preparation
We keep everything unclassified and learning-focused. Cover6 Community is a safe space for people breaking into the field—talks should meet them where they are.
