Caitlin Sarian

Caitlin Sarian, known online as “Cybersecurity Girl,” is one of the most influential voices in cybersecurity education today. With over 1.7 million followers across social media, she’s on a mission to make cybersecurity simple, inclusive, and human. After spending nearly a decade in consulting—working with top firms like EY, DLA Piper, and Protiviti—Caitlin transitioned from ISO 27001 audits and GDPR compliance to leading TikTok’s Global Cybersecurity Advocacy & Culture team. There, she built internal and external programs to spread cyber awareness around the world.

In 2023, Caitlin left corporate life to pursue her passion full-time: educating the public on online safety and inspiring the next generation of cyber professionals. She now runs Cybersecurity Girl LLC and Cyber Career Club, creating viral content and resources that break down complex security topics, highlight career paths in the industry, and protect families from digital threats.

What makes Caitlin’s story powerful is her transparency—sharing both the struggles of imposter syndrome and the highs of industry success. Her mission is rooted in one belief: cybersecurity isn’t just for tech experts—it’s for everyone. And she’s here to help them see that. Let’s go.
