Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) is a community where the recruitment, retention and advancement of women in cybersecurity doesn’t just happen—it's actively supported and celebrated. Join our channel to connect with industry leaders, gain valuable insights and elevate your career through our network of industry professionals and technical mentors dedicated to building a robust cybersecurity workforce.



Join us for an in-depth look at the WiCyS GRC - Governance, Risk & Compliance program, a 14-week intensive training for early to mid-career women professionals in cybersecurity. This program uses the NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) to teach the fundamentals of GRC, covering policy writing, control implementation, evidence gathering, and risk identification. The course will show you how a strong GRC program serves as the essential foundation for an effective cybersecurity strategy and helps enhance an organization’s overall maturity.

The program is highly practical, including hands-on experience with Compyl, a SaaS GRC solution, to allow students to apply what they learn immediately. By the end of the course, you will be equipped to write policies, draft control statements, clearly articulate risks and their impacts, and deliver a final presentation on an organization's security posture, demonstrating a comprehensive understanding of aligning cybersecurity with business objectives.

WiCyS GRC Intensive Training Program Webinar

This WiCyS webinar will dive into UNC3944, also famously known as Scattered Spider has earned a reputation for aggressive social engineering, SIM swapping and identity based intrusions and their web footprints stretches deep into cloud environments. They have been known to exploit Azure AD, Microsoft 365 and other identity platforms to escalate privileges, maintain persistence and laterally move up without detection. 

In this session, Varsha will unravel the tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) UNC3944 uses to compromise and abuse cloud platforms. Either as a beginner or mid-career professional interested in threat hunting, we'll talk through how to prepare a threat hunt methodology and hunt for their activity by correlating Azure AD sign-in data, M365 Unified Audit Logs, OAuth app grants and endpoint telemetry based off of open source threat intelligence data.

WiCyS 2026 Call for Presenters Webinar

Detecting and responding to threats is a core function of cybersecurity, but it's more complex than it sounds. While buzzwords like Extended Detection & Response (XDR), Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), and Network Detection & Response (NDR) are often discussed, understanding how to apply them to enrich investigations is key. Every environment has unique variables and goals, but they all share one common element: endpoints. Securing these devices, whether they're on-site or remote, starts with fundamental visibility.

This session will show you how EDR serves as the cornerstone for all detection and response methodologies. We'll start with an overview of various frameworks, focusing on both the endpoint and the network. Then, we'll dive into a real-world forensic investigation of a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) called SharpRhino. Using the MITRE ATT&CK® Framework, we'll demonstrate best practices for detection and response, including a look at the tactics, techniques, and procedures used in this exploit, along with recommended mitigations.

The Career I Never Knew I Wanted

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.
