Living the Mission
InfoSec Pathways started out as a project tied to the mission of FRSecure which is to fix a broken information security industry. FRSecure’s founder, Evan Francen, believed that to serve the mission properly, investment in the education and advancement of others is crucial to meet the demand for cybersecurity talent in the industry.
In 2010, FRSecure developed the CISSP Mentorship program, a training program that provides the training and guidance needed to help students successfully complete the ISC2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) exam which is the gold standard certification in the information security landscape.
Over the past 14 years, the CISSP Mentorship Program has trained over 40,000 students reaching from all over the globe. The program is taught by industry-leading experts who volunteer their wealth of knowledge as well as practical real-world experience to deliver a high-quality training experience. The training consists of 13 sessions that are scaffolded to align with the domains of the test and prepare students with the tools they need to pass the exam.
InfoSec Pathways was established in 2023 to further the goals of the CISSP Mentorship Program and create a springboard for expanding the training offerings in both number and reach. InfoSec Pathways is solely dedicated to the goal of creating opportunities and resources for individuals to enter and advance in the industry. Infosec Pathways is committed to the goal of providing a path for any individual beginning from zero security, compliance, or technology experience to obtain a substantive career in the security industry within two years of beginning the program. Paths include both technical and non-technical pathways within the security industry coupled with direct mentorship and resources to ensure ongoing career success and progression at no cost to the participant.

What People Think
"I highly recommend the FREE CISSP Mentorship program. I went through the program in 2021 and it made a huge impact on my passing the test. They will go through the study guide and explain the different areas. If you have questions you can ask during the webinar. They also setup a forum for people to communicate with each other and instructors."
Dustin "Dusti" Kimmons
"The complex subject matter was presented in a clear and understandable way. They helped me to believe that I really could earn the CISSP - something I had always wanted but considered an unobtainable dream. I passed the CISSP on my first attempt, and I know this program played a large part in that."
Austin Denyer, CISSP, CCSP
"The CISSP mentorship program is a gift. I was new to the industry and limited budget for training. Having the ability to learn what I needed to, from experts in the industry, for free, and over a period of time that seemed reasonable for the material, was an opportunity I could not pass up. With their practical and no BS approach, I was able to pass the CISSP exam on the first attempt. I highly recommend anyone interested, even if they are not going to take the exam, to attend this program."
Victoria Fogarty, CISSP
"The CISSP Mentorship program is a fantastic resource for preparing to take the CISSP exam. While a significant degree of personal effort and study is required regardless of how you prepare, this program is extraordinary for walking through the material with the guidance of experts and support from other students. The additional information provided by the instructors’ personal experiences make this course a great learning experience for students of all experience levels."
Alexander Berry, SEC+, CvCISO
"I've been attending the CISSP course for three years straight now, and I can say without a doubt that it's been a valuable refresher every time. Evan Francen and his team are tenured experts with practical experience, and they deliver each session with great expertise. I'd recommend this course to anyone interested in taking the CISSP exam, looking for a solid refresher, or just wanting to network with like-minded members of the community."
