Why Women Should Choose Cyber

Even with the recent focus on increasing diversity across the industry, 75% of cyber security roles continue to be held by men. Particularly against the backdrop of a staffing and skills shortage, it is evident that there is a need to remove structural and cultural barriers to attract and retain diverse talent. In this webinar, the ISF has brought together a panel of women, each with a unique and illuminating path into the industry. As a result, they are passionate about sharing their experiences to support and cultivate a community of aspiring female information security professionals. During this session, our panel will be discussing: • how to break through the institutional and cultural barriers in the information security profession • how to attract and retain a more diverse workforce from a variety of professional backgrounds • the possible paths into the industry and the required skillsets for individuals at all career levels • the network and training groups available for women in cyber.
