Agenda - Day One

10:00 AM [Panel Discussion] Towards a Representative Workforce: Reducing Gender Disparity in Cybersecurity

Women currently make up roughly 24% of the cybersecurity workforce worldwide and while this is an undoubted improvement on the rather dismal 11% reported in 2013, we still have a long way to go in reducing gender disparity. Looking at the c-suite, the picture is decisively less inspiring with a steady reduction in female representation across the most senior roles since 1984.

Consensus exists across industries, so why is the movement so slow? What can the industry do to help accelerate progress? Why is it so integral to enhance gender diversity for cybersecurity?

Join this session for expert insights and enlightening discussion on how we can achieve a truly gender diverse community for a cybersecurity workforce for the future.
