Beyond the Gender Gap: Empowering Women In Security

August 6, 2015 | 13:00 - 14:30

Their numbers may be small -- just 10% of all security professionals -- but women are holding more high-profile jobs and roles in the InfoSec industry than ever before. They are CISOs, researchers, and key executives with influential roles in the industry. Unfortunately, at the same time as women are taking on increasingly powerful positions, the industry appears to be stuck in first gear and there is data indicating a trend in women also leaving the industry. A panel of some of the top women in the security field will share their own experiences in how they got there, and how best to recruit, retain, and advance the professional development of women in the industry.
