About us
Cover6 Community – Atlanta is the Atlanta chapter of Cover6 Community, one of the largest cybersecurity communities in the country, running since 2012.
Career changers, students, SOC analysts, pentesters, and CISOs — all under one roof.
Free virtual meetups, live on YouTube — the same sessions the whole community attends. Offensive and defensive security, SOC labs on live infrastructure, career strategy, and hands-on tool demos.
Plus in-person meetups here in Atlanta. No agenda, no slides — just the community in one room. Dates post to the events page.
We're powered by Cover6 Solutions, a veteran-owned cybersecurity and vCISO firm. Through Cover6 Academy we publish the real thing, not teasers: Intro to Cyber — 16 modules, free — free lab access, and affordable certification practice exams built by practitioners who've been in the field.
No gatekeeping. No fluff. Just real people helping each other level up.

SOC Analyst Prep is a two-day live workshop for aspiring SOC analysts, IT professionals moving into security, and returning Cover6 students who want guided practice with the tools and thinking behind the job.
