Cyber onAir is a network of human-curated, AI-assisted online hubs similar to real world town halls and think tanks.

We bring together professionals, administrators, students and the public to:
LEARN more about & advance the field of cybersecurity
DISCUSS key cyber challenges & opportunities
ENGAGE with others to co-create cyber solutions

Together, we can build knowledge-based, trusted, collaborative online cyber communities where

• Cyber onAir hub members own their content & share their profiles and projects with related hubs without being tracked, algorithmic feeds, or intrusive ads;
• Public posts are curated and shared by members without paywalls integrating AI summaries with their own knowledge; spotlighting the latest news, videos, and projects; moderating discussions, and hosting livestreamed interviews and events;
• Every person can participate and thrive;

Join us & help lead and curate a cybersecurity hub. Your voice matters onAir!

The onAir POST is the key element of the onAir platform. Posts can have content about a topic, person, or organization.  Posts are stored and displayed within a public or custom HUB aggregating the best content on a topic. Public hubs are overseen by the nonprofit onAir Networks and other nonprofits.  Go to About onAir Networks, to learn more about current and planned onAir hubs.
