Women make up only 37% of the tech workforce at entry level, and this percentage drops with each incremental advance in their careers. This series will outline the current state of the tech industry, the challenges women are facing in hi-tech careers, as well as shed light on the opportunities that are opening up for women in tech.

Cyberattacks against healthcare jumped 42% in 2020 and another 35% in 2021. 

Successful cyberattacks disrupt healthcare operations, delay access to clinical services, and lead to significant economic loss. Stolen patient records can be used to commit fraud and identity theft, disrupting patients’ personal lives. 

Medical information is an attractive target because it has high economic value on the black market. 

If you are interested in protecting patients and the healthcare organizations that serve them from cybercriminals, join WiCyS Strategic Partner, Optum, to learn about the career opportunities in healthcare cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity Careers in Healthcare

Join WiCyS Strategic Partner, AWS will discuss misconfiguration in the cloud, its patterns, threats, and risk to an organization/business. Understanding the shared responsibility model and how we can protect our organizations. We will be going through a use-case exercise and attendees will learn how we can implement the shared model.

Mis-Configuration in the Cloud

With the huge expansion on the attack surface of an organization and the dynamic growth in the realm of Cybersecurity, employees are tempted to choose the latest and greatest product in the market to make life easier for them. While busy individuals think they are finding a solution to their problem, not assessing the associated security risks can cause more problems than it solves! What vulnerabilities are associated with this new tool? Who should have access to the data? Who should own the application? It is quite common for products from vendors to become compromised.

In this presentation, WiCyS strategic partner, Workday, will talk about how Enterprise Security establishes the relationship and collaborates with various security teams before a technology is approved.

Responding to Mega Cyber-Incidents

Security is at the very top of the list of priorities for corporate leaders, and for a good reason. Data breaches have never been so numerous or severe. There are many areas of digital services that need to be defended, but none are more important than the applications and data in the cloud. Although application layer defense is not always well understood, web application attacks remain the most frequent cause of confirmed breaches. As more business workflows move into third-party cloud services, corporate data is no longer contained within traditional corporate network boundaries. Applications have become the new frontier and security can be incorporated into multiple stages of the software development lifecycle to mitigate application vulnerabilities.

In this talk with WiCyS Strategic Partner, Cisco, viewers will be given an overview of the application and cloud security with topics in Software Development Lifecycle, threat modeling, secure coding practices, common application vulnerabilities, and countermeasures. Organizations must take the threat of insecure web applications seriously and take a risk-based approach to protect data in the cloud. The webinar will conclude with considerations and guidelines related to cloud security.

Application and Cloud Security Overview
