AGENDA
Overview
Join us for a dynamic online roundtable discussion where we delve into the multifaceted landscape of women in cybersecurity. As seasoned professionals and newcomers alike share their experiences, we'll examine the existing community dynamics, strategies to bolster female participation in the field and crucial resources and support systems necessary for women to thrive in this male-dominated industry. We’ll dissect the delicate conversation around the added responsibility of paving the way for future generations, particularly the balance between personal success and mentorship.
The conversation
- How can we best encourage women to enter careers in Cybersecurity? What needs to be done to help attraction and retention?
- As a woman in Cybersecurity, what has the community looked like for you? What type of resources or support have you received (or have felt you needed).
- How does your organization support cybersecurity or DEIB advocacy collaborations?
- How are leaders and teams accountable for making decision-making in cybersecurity operations based on DEI (involving diversity to inform decision-making)?
- What advice do you have for someone who may feel intimidated by the gender imbalance in the industry or by imposter syndrome?
