Acronis SCSVets, a Scottsdale-based nonprofit is dedicated to helping veterans build a career in cybersecurity, whether at Acronis SCS or other small-to-medium businesses. It also seeks to narrow Arizona’s cyber workforce shortage by empowering veterans, active-duty military, and military spouses with the credentials, skills, and resources they need to pursue a cybersecurity career – all at zero cost to them.

Unlike other programs that prioritize online learning, Acronis SCSVets’ unique, scalable, and high-touch program utilizes community-oriented partners to provide tailored cyber training and a comprehensive support system that meet the needs of each veteran and military community.
