AGENDA
Overview
Cybersecurity is a powerhouse industry, but let’s face it, women are still vastly underrepresented. It’s time to change the game.
Join us for a dynamic online roundtable discussion where seasoned executives and fresh voices come together to tackle what it really takes to thrive in this male-dominated field.
We’ll explore the challenges, the breakthroughs, and the resources that make a difference. Plus, we’ll get real about the tightrope of personal success and the unspoken responsibility to lift the next generation.
This isn’t just a discussion, it’s a call to action. Let’s rewire the future of cybersecurity together.
The conversation
- How can we best encourage women to enter careers in Cybersecurity? What needs to be done to help attraction and retention?
- What advice do you have for someone who may feel intimidated by the gender imbalance in the industry or by imposter syndrome?
- How does your organization support cybersecurity or DEIB advocacy collaborations?
- How can we support the younger women in the organization; how do we uplift each other?
- Were there any mentors or role models who inspired you during your journey (or non-supporters who pushed you to move forward)?
