Cyber Security Specialist.
Empath.
Big Picture Thinker.

Bangladeshi-American, Tazin Khan, believes everyone deserves to know how to protect themselves online. As a cybersecurity specialist of 10 years with a focus on program compliance, third party risk management, and product mapping for Fortune 500 companies, she has an acute understanding of transforming problems into product solutions and translating product benefits into the customer’s environment. This skill-set, paired with an obsession for communications and empathy is what inspired her to educate people on the impact of their data and its effect on their real lives.

In 2019, Tazin mobilized her community and founded Cyber Collective in an effort to increase awareness of the importance of digital protection. Today, Cyber Collective is recognized by Forbes as “the only women of color owned and operated community-centered research organization that focuses on data ethics, privacy, and cybersecurity research.” Tazin and her team at Cyber Collective are dedicated to ensuring all peoples’ safety and needs are prioritized by the next generation of technology leaders and builders. In addition to her work at CyCo (Cyber Collective), Tazin co-hosts Cisco Secure’s Security Stories podcast and is focused on building out Cisco’s security community.

  • Tazin’s leadership and mentorship during my time at Cyber Collective made a tremendous impact on my professional development through the opportunity to develop new skills and have a mentor that could assist me in navigating the next steps in my career. One of Tazin’s strongest traits as a leader is her vision. She is quick to handle all that comes her way while keeping a team motivated and focused on both the tasks at hand and the bigger picture.

  • Tazin is one of the most creative, impactful thought leaders I have met that I am blessed to refer to as a friend, mentor, and sister. I found her through IG as she was plugging her work of Cyber Collective and I instantly knew this was a passion project worth investing my time and efforts in. Through our work in Cyber Collective, Tazin is consistent, interactive, go-getter mentality, and a cheerleader all in one. She is a big picture thinker that not only makes you want to think critically, but fuel that idea into fruition.

  • Tazin is my big sis in cybersecurity. I came across her Instagram account via Noor Tagouri and was instantly and directly impacted by her extremely relatable content - as it relates to cybersecurity and life in general. She is the definition of passionate. She puts her heart and soul into everything that she does. She speaks highly of women behind their back; and she lifts them up and recommends them for opportunities - that’s Tazin. That’s a leader.

  • I found your page and wanted to send some positive vibes your way. I’ve worked in security for almost 11yrs and started hacking around age 14. I’ve been around, in a sense. Its wonderful seeing a page that is targeting more people of color. If there’s something I can do to help, please let me know.

  • Thanks for creating! I love your content. I'm a communication professor and my research focuses on disinformation / misinformation in black social media spaces. I appreciate so many of your posts. So many folks don’t understand how important privacy is.

  • Tazin provides quality content and sparks important conversations about cyber security, privacy and more. I appreciate the work she puts into her projects to make information digestible. I’ve attended various Cyber Collective workshop/sessions that Tazin and her team have put together. I always learn something new and enjoy the Q/As at the end to help us understand the topic better.

  • I want to thank you for what you're doing here, as someone who spent the last 5 years of my life studying media theory, and felt hopeless against the powers that be to the point where I stopped fighting. Thank you for reminding me of why I studied this in the first place.

  • Tazin is an incredible leader who I had the opportunity to work with at Cyber Collective. Tazin taught us to strive for consistency rather than perfection— a lesson that will stay with me for the rest of my life. Tazin is a dreamer who takes action, a true force to be reckoned with. Her approach to work is inspiring and her heart for her community is the driving force behind it all. I will forever be grateful to have had Tazin as my leader while at Cyber Collective.
