PEP Cybersecurity is proud to announce that it has received a $500 grant from
WiCyS (Women in CyberSecurity), a U.S.-based nonprofit organization
dedicated to advancing women in cybersecurity. This funding will support
workshops, mentorship programs, and skill-building initiatives aimed at
encouraging more women to pursue careers in cybersecurity. By fostering an
inclusive and supportive environment, PEP Cybersecurity continues to drive

efforts toward bridging the gender gap in the field.
