A WOMAN'S PLACE IS IN CYBERSECURITY

The global cybersecurity landscape has dramatically changed the way we do business and live our lives. Now, more than ever, having cybersecurity at the heart of an organization’s overall strategy is crucial, and requires diverse thinkers. Yet there is a marked gender disparity in the cybersecurity workforce, with women holding just 25% of jobs. The women in this critical community of cybersecurity leaders are the best in their field, working at the highest levels to innovate, safeguard and lead complex transformational programs at some of the biggest companies in the world.

In this series, The Female Quotient and Deloitte are amplifying the voices of 30 women who are at the forefront of the cyber revolution. Their stories are proof that a woman’s place is in cybersecurity.
