DCCyberWarriors (The D.C. Cybersecurity Professionals Meetup Group) is an inclusive, hands-on cybersecurity community founded in 2012. Our sessions are designed to help beginners, career changers, and self-taught learners build real skills through practical demos and guided walkthroughs—often taught through a CISO lens (risk, priorities, and real-world decision-making).

When we meet: Every two weeks (typically Tuesdays @ 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 love: • Talks (30–45 min) + Q&A • Workshops (60–90 min) (hands-on encouraged) • Lightning talks (5–10 min) (optional if you enable it)

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.
