March is Women’s History Month so we’re taking this opportunity to chat about the challenges that women face in the #cybersecurity industry, and celebrate the journeys some of us have taken to get here.

Any time an industry is dominated by a particular group, it can make entrance and success into the field more difficult for others. With Black History month just in the rear view mirror, it’s crucial to address these issues from an intersectional perspective. When it comes to cybersecurity–an industry desperate for experts and for talent–it’s even more important to empower those facing challenges. Fostering diversity in the cybersecurity industry allows us to encounter new ideas, reach new markets, and make better decisions.

So let’s talk about it!

This episode, we’ll be asking several cybersecurity professionals about their challenges and successes along the way. We’ll also talk about ‘what you wish you’d known,’ and source some advice for other women looking to enter, and grow, within the field.
