Voices of the Vigilant S2 EP5 | Podcasthon 2026 Special - Cyberjutsu’s Playbook For Belonging In Cybersecurity
This episode features Mari Galloway , CEO and founding board member of Women's Society of Cyberjutsu (WSC), one of the fastest-growing 501(c)(3) nonprofit cybersecurity communities focused on advancing women and girls in cybersecurity.
"When you come into Cyberjutsu, the vibe is — let me find a place where I can squeeze in here, because I like this."
That's Mari, describing what makes this organization different. Not a conference where you disappear into the crowd. Not a nonprofit where you feel like a number. A community where hands-on learning, real mentorship, and genuine belonging are the whole point — and have been since 2012.
This June, that community converges at CyberjutsuCon 2026 in Washington, D.C. Technical workshops, keynotes, a CTF sponsored by Hack the Box, a career village, and yes — a sneaker ball. The theme: Beyond the Patterns. Because AI is here, quantum is coming, and the cybersecurity workforce needs to be ready.
Tickets start at $100. Sponsorships start at $2,500. The mission is priceless.
