The Blacks In Cybersecurity (B.I.C.) Village seeks to bring culturally diverse perspectives to the holistic Cybersecurity community; by way of a series of talks and a capture the flag event. In providing these activities, we hope to help highlight Black experiences, innovations in the field, Black culture and educate the community about Black history.
The B.I.C. Village attracts and retains the presence of Hackers from the United States, Africa, Caribbean and Europe (so far) that are a part of the African Diaspora. This often underrepresented and misrepresented community harbors the drive, determination and stick-to-itiveness that is congruent to the Hacker Spirit yet, statistically lacks the proper resources to pursue careers or engage their perspectives on security topics and research.
Through the exposure and information provided by B.I.C. Village, we believe that we can normalize the discussion of deficiency or prejudices in Cybersecurity education/development for minority communities. We also believe this effort can be translated to allow for more diverse hobbyists and professionals to engage and contribute.
