Want a career in cyber? Meet the women owning it
These are cybersecurity's trailblazing women to follow
This International Women's Day, we celebrate the makers, creators and doers working to close tech's gender gap. Sure, the industry has a long way to go, but these women's success shows we're making progress. Essential reading if you're looking at a career in the industry.
International Women’s Day – your inspiration for a career in cybersecurity
<p>Are you thinking about a career in cybersecurity but put off by the lack of women in the industry? There's good news: the tides are changing. What was a male-dominated industry is transforming – slowly but surely. We're celebrating the women who've made it. </p>The numbers behind tech’s shrinking gender gap
<p>Diversity benefits our teams, yet encouraging more women to join is a constant challenge in the tech industry. Now is the time for change. Kaspersky's <a href="https://media.kasperskydaily.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/92/2021/02/15054851/Kaspersky-Women-in-tech-Report_UPD_Regional-Stories.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Women in Tech</a> report found 57 percent agree there are now more women in IT and tech roles than two years ago. Plus, one in two believe that remote working has improved gender equality. This might seem like slow progress, but it's a positive sign for championing women in cybersecurity. And these trailblazers are leading the way.</p>Theresa Payton: The first female to serve as White House Chief Information Officer (CIO)
