Virtual See Jane Salon – Closing the Cyber Gender Gap

Tuesday, January 31, 2023

Watch the full event replay here. See below for event details.

 

 

Women make up only 24% of the cybersecurity workforce, despite the fact that women make up 51% of our global population. With over 700,000 cyber security jobs currently sitting open it’s now more important than ever to start building a more diverse pipeline of workers, so that women and girls everywhere can see themselves in cyber.

On January 31, 2023, a virtual event audience joined the Institute in partnership with Craig Newmark Philanthropies as we heard from leading organizations within the Cyber Civil Defense Initiative like The Girl Scouts of Greater New York, Black Girls Hack, Aspen Digital and more who are working to create opportunities for women and girls to pursue careers in Cybersecurity.
