Types of Affiliate Groups

There are three types of affiliate groups: Regional, Corporate and Specialty Affiliates.

Regional Affiliates

Regional Affiliates are for a state or several adjoining states coordinated with WiCyS to avoid overlap. Example: “WiCyS Mid-Atlantic Affiliate”

Corporate Affiliates

Corporate Affiliates are created by a company or institution wanting to provide an internal community for that particular organization’s women in cybersecurity, and associate the organization with the WiCyS brand. Please note: this is a WiCyS strategic partner benefit only.

Specialty Affiliates

Specialty Affiliates are for a specific sector in the cybersecurity profession (ex. WiCyS Critical Infrastructure Affiliate).
