SnoopWall CEO Miliefsky Joins Phi Beta Cyber Providing Free Cybersecurity Education to High Schools Nationwide

Nashua, NH, January 31, 2017 (Newswire.com) - ​​The Phi Beta Cyber Society honors cybersecurity experts across the nation and encourages high school students to consider pursuing a career in cybersecurity. Founded by Steve Morgan, the invitation-only society is composed of cybersecurity professionals, with preferably 15 years of experiences, and ranked a top expert in their field. Society members must accept a minimum of one invitation a year to guest speak at a local high school and encourage students to consider cybersecurity to fill the growing need for jobs in the space.

According to a 2015 Peninsula Press analysis (a project of the Stanford Journalism Program), the demand for information security professionals will increase by 53% through 2018. The Society’s goal is to help recruit students in an effort to combat the anticipated workforce shortage and spread awareness of the importance of cyber defense.

"It is time we pay it forward and give back to our youth - as the future of cyber security depends upon their skills in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and ethical hacking. I am thrilled to spend time helping High School students understand the skills they need and the values we cherish in this explosive field."

Gary S. Miliefsky, CEO of SnoopWall, Inc.

“The amount of high level people who have already stepped forward and joined is remarkable – and they are already sending me all kinds of ideas,” said Morgan. “I hope the society will continue to grow and become more prominent in the cybersecurity field. Having well-known cyber professionals join is a huge step in spreading the word.”

One of the most visionary innovators in breach prevention and mobile device security, SnoopWall CEO Gary S. Miliefsky, is among the early experts who joined. “It is time we pay it forward and give back to our youth - as the future of cyber security depends upon their skills in the fields of electrical engineering, computer science and ethical hacking.  I am thrilled to spend time helping High School students understand the skills they need and the values we cherish in this explosive field."

Each member provides their home city and state so Phi Beta Cyber can match them up to local schools. Members receive benefits such as private networking, additional volunteer opportunities, and the ability to display their recognition from the society. The society does not have profit motives or membership dues.
