Empowering Women in Cybersecurity: A Strategic Advantage in Global Cyber Warfare

As global cyber warfare intensifies, the United States faces a dual challenge: a growing cybersecurity talent gap and underrepresentation of women in tech. While other nations advance in developing robust cybersecurity workforces, the U.S. lags behind. This talk introduces a pivotal initiative aimed at addressing both issues simultaneously. Focusing on educating women in underserved communities, particularly those in women's shelters, we present this transformative approach. Our program aims to bridge this gap by equipping women with vital cybersecurity skills. In this presentation, you will learn: - how empowering women in cybersecurity transcends gender equality. - how this initiative will bolster national cybersecurity. - how equipping women with cybersecurity skills can also enhance their personal development.
