The free, online event features discussions and panels for neurodivergent cybersecurity professionals

"Since taking our Summits virtual in 2020, we've had the privilege of hosting many people who had never been to SANS events before, and we've learned a great deal about the different ways people consume and process information," said Jennifer Santiago, Director of Content Development for SANS Institute Summits. "We respect individual learning and working styles, and we're excited to bring the community this content specifically dedicated to celebrating the unique talents and contributions of neurodivergent professionals in cybersecurity. We hope to share tools and tactics to help these individuals thrive in their cybersecurity careers."

"A sense of community not only brings together people of all learning styles within the cybersecurity industry, but also has a major influence on schools, government, employers, and service providers to collaborate on changing how we support these individuals," said Teresa Thomas, SANS Summit Advisory Board, and MITRE Corporation's Program Lead for Neurodiverse Talent Enablement.

The ND in Cybersecurity Summit is free and open to everyone. It will begin at 9 a.m. ET on May 12 and is worth 6 Summit CPE Credits. Featured presentations, panels, and speakers will include:
