Not everyone can afford a ticket to BSides Cape Town, and that shouldn't be what keeps someone out of cybersecurity.

Rite of Passage is our Pay It Forward initiative, a separate contribution that opens a seat for an aspiring cybersecurity student. It does not include conference access itself, it is purely about paying it forward for someone starting out.
