Women in Cybersecurity: Action & Allies - Presented by SANS Summits

Thankfully, we've come far enough that we no longer need to make a case for why gender equality in cybersecurity is important and valuable. But the fact that women still represent less than 20% of the workforce in cybersecurity positions shows we have a long way to go. How do we get there?

Achieving gender parity will require two important things: action and allies.

Even the most well-intentioned organizations may not realize the gender bias inherent in so many aspects of the hiring process or career milestones like performance reviews. We need a clear plan of action to bring traditional HR practices in line with the reality of recruiting, hiring, retaining, and promoting top female cybersecurity professionals.

We also need allies. We need established leaders in the industry to mentor us, advocate for us, and work on changing attitudes in their organizations at a macro level. How do we find or create allies? How can we be these allies?
