Reimagining Cyber - real world perspectives on cybersecurity

Solving the Cyber Workforce Crisis - Ep 168


Listen Later

Women make up only a fraction of the cybersecurity workforce—and many hit a career ceiling just 6 to 10 years in. At the same time, millions of cyber roles remain unfilled, and the talent gap keeps growing. Lynn Dohm, Executive Director of Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS), is working to change that.

In this episode, Lynn shares how WiCyS has grown from a single conference into a global nonprofit supporting 11,000+ members across 100 countries. She highlights groundbreaking research on the barriers women face in cyber, why skills-based advancement matters, and powerful success stories of women who’ve launched or transformed their careers through WiCyS programs.

If you’re passionate about advancing women in cyber, closing the talent gap, and building a stronger, more inclusive workforce, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.
