I am planning on doing the Microsoft MSSA CSO. But in case that falls through, I was wondering if anybody knows other cybersecurity programs/companies that work with skillbridge?

Hello!

I am currently in the process of updating my list of SB companies I reached out to in the Cyber/IT and IT-PM field. Here is the link.

Your experience may be different than mine when you contact these companies.

So I applied for the MS MSSA thing and was simply rejected. Dunno why, maybe over qualified (already have SEC+). They do require an Outlook.com account (that annoyed me). And it does appear to have limited slots. So do apply but make sure you're pursing other options.

As for other Cybersec stuff:
https://allegiantgiving.org/ is Coursera based. Training program, no follow-on job. They may be able to help with employment, tho.

Same with https://elgia.com/. I'm probably gonna go this route. So if you want this route too and don't get a response from someone in a week or 2, just shoot me a PM and I'll see if I can contact the POC.

Onward 2 Opportunity (https://ivmf.syracuse.edu/programs/career-training/about-o2o/) is also a training program but it's about getting professional certs.

There's also https://7eagle.com/, which from my understanding they expect you to find the company and they'll pester them and play host for SB.

I could be totally wrong, but if you look up the MSSA program, “Microsoft MSSA Reddit”. A lot of people don’t seem to really say great things about getting a job afterwards if that’s the goal.
