INTRODUCTION
Forum's Venture Studio brings together ambitious people, brilliant ideas, and capital to build the best B2B SaaS businesses in the world, from 0 to 1. In addition to capital and an idea, we provide founders with access to investor networks, fundraising support, and the resources needed to build transformational companies. Our AI Studio has launched 17 companies since 2023, and we're launching 7 more in 2026. We're designed to help Founders move faster, develop better insights, and build companies that have a higher success rate than startups built in any other way.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
As previously air-gapped physical systems connect so AI can operate them, the attack surface expands beyond the network. Adversaries can manipulate what the AI believes is happening in the physical world through bad sensor data or corrupted models. When an attacker compromises AI controlling a factory, power grid, or fleet, the consequences are physical, not just a data breach. Forum AI Studio is looking for a Founder exploring any of these themes:
- Adversarial robustness testing for AI systems controlling critical infrastructure
- Physical and digital integrity verification across independent sensors and control loops
- Incident response and forensics for AI-assisted physical breaches
- and more!
Maybe you've secured water utilities, energy operators, or critical manufacturing sites. Maybe you've built OT security products and know why network visibility is not enough when AI operates the process. That's who we build with.
Forum derisks and accelerates the Founder path by:
- A $250K USD investment, and an end-to-end fundraising playbook and network to raise your seed and Series A
- A validation partner with proven playbooks, networks, and the systems to validate, unlock your ICP, ignite your sales pipeline, and beyond
- The support of our experienced operating team - from business design, product development, growth, recruitment, legal and more
- Executing a winning GTM strategy to get to $50-100K ARR, and the right MVP to ensure early traction
- A community full of mentors, peers, and leaders
- $100K+ worth of business perks
ABOUT YOU
- Early-stage operator experience with a proven track record of building, selling, and navigating the OT security and critical infrastructure world.
- You may have secured water utilities, energy operators, or critical manufacturing environments and understand where perimeter tools fall short.
- You may have built industrial cybersecurity or OT monitoring products and know what buyers need when AI operates the physical process.
- The ability to attract, hire and lead world-class teams
- A demonstrated passion for technology's ability to change the world
- A desire to be a venture-backed founder
- Canada or US-based, and the ability to collaborate in North American time zones.

Entry Level Cybersecurity Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level cybersecurity job?
Entry level cybersecurity employers look for candidates who can demonstrate hands-on skills, not just a degree. Earning a recognized certification like CompTIA Security+ or Google's Cybersecurity Certificate signals you can do the work. A home lab, a capture-the-flag write-up, or an internship project you can walk through in an interview gives you a concrete edge over candidates with no tangible work to show.
Which companies hire entry level cybersecuritys?
Companies hiring entry level cybersecuritys right now include Cogent Communications, Stoneridge, and Northrop Grumman, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring comes from a wide range of employers, including federal contractors, managed security service providers, financial institutions, and technology companies that maintain their own security operations centers.
Are there remote entry level cybersecurity jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles still make up a share of openings at this level. About 39% of entry level cybersecurity openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, which gives candidates outside major metro areas a realistic path into the field without relocating for a first role.
Are these new grad cybersecurity jobs?
Yes. These listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior cybersecurity roles. A new grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and treats internships, academic projects, and self-built lab environments as qualifying background. If the posting lists a certification as a preferred qualification rather than a hard requirement, that is another signal it is open to new grad applicants.
Which industries hire the most entry level cybersecuritys?
Entry Level cybersecurity roles concentrate in Education, Technology & Software, and Telecommunications, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they handle sensitive data at scale, face regulatory compliance requirements, or operate infrastructure that demands continuous monitoring and threat response.
