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.

‍

Topics of Discussion:

‍

1. How can we best encourage women to enter careers in Cybersecurity? What needs to be done to help attraction and retention?

2. 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). 

3. Should we add or have the extra pressure of not only being successful ourselves but the burden/mission to help the next generation rise?  How hard is this to balance for those of us who tend to be perfectionists?

4. How can we support the younger women in the organization; how do we uplift each other?

5. Were there any mentors or role models who inspired you during your journey (or non-supporters who pushed you to move forward).
