Description
The people we spoke to at 2016's Women in Cybersecurity Conference had a remarkable diversity of career and academic backgrounds, as well as life experiences. Many themes emerged from our conversations, including the importance of mentorship, willingness to try new things and take risks, and the importance of flexibility and communications skills. They also dispelled some myths, including the notion that you need to have a technical background for a career in cyber security.
We sat down with a range of women, from students to industry leaders, for candid conversations about their personal journeys, their experiences as women in a male dominated field, and their advice to women considering a career in cybersecurity.
