CONNECT University Online Session I Women in Cybersecurity

Date: 
08/03/2021

Despite increased interest in the cybersecurity field, the gender gap persists. Women are still highly underrepresented among its ranks, while the majority of jobs are being filled primarily by men. The future of cybersecurity is influenced by its ability to attract, retain and promote more cyber professionals including more women. We need an interdisciplinary approach to reach high level of cybersecurity.

To celebrate the International Women's Day 2021, thisCONNECT University session will bring together leading women in cybersecurity to address some of the most contemporary pressing issues, share their successful stories, and inspire other women who want to pursue a professional career in this field. In the same time, the event will discuss concrete actions to attract more women in this domain, highlighting the crucial role that they play in cybersecurity.

On 8 March, join CONNECT University in celebrating the International Women's Day 2021, together with Digital Single Market, Women4Cyber and ENISA, on an online session on "Women in Cybersecurity" at 14:00 CET.
