About YSPA

Who are we

YSPA – the Young Security Professional Academy – is a mission-driven collective of industry leaders, educators, and mentors working to reimagine the pathway into corporate security.

We exist to empower young professionals and career changers with the mindset, skills, and networks needed to thrive in today’s complex risk environment.

Founded by senior security practitioners with decades of experience in global organizations, YSPA was created to fill the gap between academic theory and industry practice — and to build a more diverse, innovative, and resilient generation of security leaders.

We operate at the intersection of: Academia (co-developing programs with universities); Industry – partnering with companies and CSOs to host live experiences and Innovation – accelerating ideas and solutions from emerging professionals. 

YSPA is a movement for those who believe the future of security leadership should be inclusive, intelligent, and inspired.
