Inspire, grow, connect

Gender diversity is a critical element of successful cyber security

We are committed to addressing the gender balance and growing skills shortage in cyber. Established in 2015, our Women in Cyber network aims to promote gender diversity in cyber and is supported by male and female cyber professionals globally.

We work collaboratively across geographies towards a common vision: to promote gender diversity in the cyber security industry by inspiring others, developing our people and building a community. This vision is supported by three pillars:

Inspire

We inspire the next generation of cyber professionals by working with schools and universities, delivering cyber security awareness sessions and providing opportunities for students to meet women who work in cyber.

Grow

We foster growth and development of our cyber team by offering support for personal development, targeting activities to address gender imbalances at different levels, developing a community of connected individuals and promoting the importance of diversity in our teams. We also work collaboratively across the industry with clients to provide similar opportunities and mentoring those who are starting their own initiatives.

Connect

We want to make an impact beyond our internal teams by enhancing female cyber professionals with the tools to thrive in any role. We host external speaker events, roundtable events, and have recently launched an educational series to upskill cyber professionals and those considering a career in cyber.
Our aim is to promote gender diversity in the cyber security industry by inspiring others, developing our people and building a community.
