Women in CyberSecurity
According to the (ISC)² Cybersecurity Workforce Study, women’s participation currently makes up approximately 24% of the cybersecurity workforce, with even fewer women holding managerial or senior positions. In addition, the number of unfilled cybersecurity positions in 2021 was at 2.7 million (ITU, 2022).
The proposed Cyber Acceleration Program will aim to shift the mentality and tackle systemic barriers that prevent broader inclusion in the cybersecurity field, encourage women to take on leadership roles in cybersecurity, and promote knowledge sharing of professional best practices.
