Chicago Nonprofit HACE Announces Partnership with Trellix, Creation of Program to Train Latino Professionals in Tech, Cybersecurity Fields


Those who are enrolled in the Fall 2023 ELLP Trellix Cohort are the following: Brandon Ballesteros, Felip Ballesteros, Maria Becerra, Samantha Bolet, Rafael Castro, Jesus Flores, Radiris Diaz, Amy Gregory, Jose Miguel Jara-Garcia, Alana Mondragon, Krista Kaszycki, Samiha Makawi, Ada Martinez Martinell, Loren Mejia, Jocelyn Ortiz, Marilyn Rodriguez, Ursula Rodriguez, Fabianna Rodriguez-Mercado and Ximena Siguenza Cabrera.

Business publications such as Forbes address the low participation of Latinos in cybersecurity positions. In a September 2022 article, the magazine mentions the Aspen Digital Tech Policy report that cites that “only 9% of cybersecurity experts are Black. About 8% are Asian, and 4% are Hispanic.” The article also added: “Expensive education puts minorities at a disadvantage because they are more likely to come from low-income households. Poverty severely limits not only the IT courses the students can take but, more importantly, their exposure to IT and computer science in general.”

HACE CEO Patricia Mota is excited to work with Trellix to encourage Latino/a/x/e professionals to look at these fields for potential career paths.

“Through the HACE-Trellix Cybersecurity Leadership program, we will not only be able to outfit our members with mentoring and vital skilling opportunities but also introduce our broader network to the field of cybersecurity,” she said. “A recent Fortune article explained that there is a global shortage of 3.4 million workers in the field according to the 2022 (ISC)2 Cybersecurity Workforce Study and the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the number of cybersecurity jobs will grow by 35% between 2021 and 2031. With this program and other strategic partnerships, our goal is to increase the 4% of Latino professionals currently employed in the field to 20% and beyond.”

Trellix Chief Human Resources Officer Michael Alicea said that partnerships with organizations such as HACE “elevate our industry.”

“Partnering with HACE to launch a comprehensive mentorship and educational program will help those in the Hispanic community build soft and hard skills related to cybersecurity,” Alicea said. “At Trellix, we believe the work being done in cybersecurity is Soulful Work, contributing to the greater good of society.‥Ninety-two percent of security professionals agree cybersecurity is purposeful, soulful work that motivates them. We’re on a mission to broaden the awareness of cybersecurity as a meaningful, engaging career with lots of growth potential.”

He added: “There is a large skills gap across the cybersecurity profession and a growing demand to fill roles. We know our industry strongly believes that greater mentorships, internships, and apprenticeship opportunities encourage and support participation from diverse backgrounds into cybersecurity-based roles. And bringing diversity to cybersecurity is one of the strongest ways to ensure we continue to grow and retain talent in the cyber workforce.”‥

This inaugural program is open to mid-level Latino/a/x/e professionals who are managers and directors or high-potential ERG /BRG leaders seeking culturally-relevant leadership development.
