About Us.

CyberLINC is here to transform your professional career in Cybersecurity by offering all of the guidance, mentorship, resources, and network connections that you will ever need.

Typical time to complete our program is 1-1 1⁄2 years for absolute beginners, 6 months–1 year for intermediate, and even less for experts. We have had beginners complete our program and gain four certifications within six months. It all depends on your motivation and dedication to improve your life and future career.

Only you can bring yourself to the top. To gain a position without experience, typical requirements are as follows:

Masters Degree: 1-2+ Industry standard certifications are recommended but no certifications are NEEDED to gain a position in this industry.
Bachelor's Degree: 2-3 Industry standard certifications are recommended.
No degree/ Entry level: 3-4 Industry standard certifications are recommended.

The LINC in CyberLINC stands for Learn, Inquire, Network, and Communicate. During your time here, you should expect all of these characteristics to bring themselves out.

Our story

About us

CyberLINC Incorporated has been empowering cybersecurity professionals for 4 years now. Formerly known as CySecSol and headed by Dr. Allen Walker IV, we have continuously encouraged individuals of underrepresented communities to reach their full potential.

CyberLINC has sent over 80 members through the masters program in cybersecurity and has helped our members gain hundreds of industry-standard certifications over this time. We do this by giving easy access to thousands of dollars in resources, mentorship, and guidance, network connections, and motivation. Our goal has always been to change lives and make this industry as accessible as possible to our members.

CyberLINC was established in 2023 with 10 people sitting in Dr. Walker's kitchen and simply discussing cybersecurity and looking for mentorship. After continuous growth and demand, CyberLINC became officially registered as a 501(c)(3) organization in January 2024. Since then, we have grown to over a hundred members at a time and large staff that want to do nothing but help.

Our overarching program goal has always been to move somebody to a better position than they were in prior to starting with us. However, we are neither a traditional academy nor a school. We cannot force you to work toward your future. We hold all necessary resources and help to make you successful, but at the end of the day, it is you that will put consistent time and effort into working towards your future.
