Whole Cyber Human Initiative is Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Non-profit built on a community to provide, promote, and evaluate free to inexpensive Cybersecurity Education built of the National Institute Cybersecurity Education (NICE) practical skilling. ​

It was founded by Retired Navy Veteran Paul Cummings, Leah McLean, and the founding Board of Advisors, Whole Cyber is a workforce development research organization with a near 300 years combined Industry Experience.

Our mission is to provide a free, and immersive, self-paced program in support of Transitioning Service Members, Veterans, Military Families, and First Responders. While additionally providing Tier based COHORTS to Veteran Owned Businesses first and globally to any company or organization second. While focused on the veteran community, our program is free to anyone around the globe.

Imagine a world where veterans, military dependents, and first responders can find free or inexpensive upskilling before spending their hard-earned money on an accelerated bootcamp. These accelerated bootcamps are geared towards those that already have a technical background or knowledge and may lead to certifications that have no true return on investment. Imagine a world where College and Universities have a direct degree pathway matching the 52 roles defined by the National Institute for Cybersecurity Education. This world does exist with Whole Cyber Human Initiative. Colleges and Universities, please reach out to us and let us help you build a better program for a better tomorrow.

So, what is a Whole Cyber Human?

​A Whole Cyber Human is defined as a person who has built foundational and practical knowledge holistically in the Information Technology and Cybersecurity space. They are immersed into the full spectrum of cyber and empowered with the training to be force multipliers.

They are often considered career pivoters or potential veteran service members who have obtained critical Mid-Senior level soft and hard skills highly sought for in the job market.

They are our children in school who have already built an efficiency in using technology.

They are the key to securing the next 20 years.

The impetus for the creation of the Whole Cyber Human Initiative is driven by the extreme alleged “talent shortage” that spreads across the globe. These in-demand jobs are found vacant while human resources and hiring managers claim they cannot find talent. As leaders we can burn this broken process down and kindle the rebirth of the phoenix by reshaping of how to identify, mold, and acquire a new breed of talent throughout the industry.
