This program runs in collaboration with Highland Capital Partners provides teams with a $35,000 convertible note investment, office space, and dedicated security mentorship from <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cybersecurityfactory.com\/#inmentors\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">industry leaders<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> at leading companies throughout the United States. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Security software startups face several unique challenges. The advantage of new technologies is hard to communicate, and can be even harder to demonstrate, to customers. Reputation is paramount, but can be damaged overnight. Sales models are rapidly evolving, and keeping up with them requires both agility and experimentation. Despite these challenges, hackers are continuously trying to penetrate systems and exploit vulnerabilities. There is a strong need for security innovation to stay ahead of these attackers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cybersecurity Factory is attempting to fulfill this need by providing the support and mentoring to help teams with business and product strategy and to help them build a network of entrepreneurs and investors to identify key opportunities in the security market. During the summer, each team will work closely with our security mentors and potential customers to produce and improve a marketable prototype. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Applications are <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cybersecurityfactory.wufoo.com\/forms\/qt8cv0t1hgi4up\/\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">open<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">!
