Community Partners
Women in Technology
Women in Technology (WIT) has the sole aim of advancing women in technology — from the classroom to the boardroom. WIT meets its vision through a variety of leadership development, technology education, networking and mentoring opportunities for women at all levels of their careers. WIT has over 1000 members in the Washington, D.C./Maryland/Virginia metro region.
Jamaica
We are proud partners of the Vector Technology Institute in Jamaica. Our staff help develop local Jamaican cybersecurity skills by participating in training seminars and by assisting the Vector Tech students with cybersecurity technology projects. We are also supporting Vector in developing a cybersecurity curriculum and consulting on certification tracks for students.
Nepal
In 2012, there was a devastating earthquake that displaced countless children in Nepal. The government began to place these children in a local orphanage. After meeting the orphanage founder and learning about the story, Iron Vine purchased a clean drinking water system for the property. We also support the volunteers who work there and have donated laptop computers for the children, helping them complete homework and research online.
BSidesCharm
BSidesCharm is a regional Security B-Sides held in Baltimore, MD. It operates under the umbrella principles of Security B-Sides as a larger community project within information security. The goal of BSides is to offer small, intimate events where all participants can engage each other to help develop connections, friendships, and network with different industry professionals.
Old Glory DC
Iron Vine is a proud Founding Partner for Washington, DC’s first Major League Rugby team Old Glory DC. We are excited to be a sponsor for many reasons, but primarily we love supporting men’s and women’s rugby here in our community. We love what rugby instills in its players at all levels: teamwork, dedication, and commitment—these are values we live by as a company.
