It's Time To Create More Opportunities For Women In Cybersecurity
Fortinet News, March 3rd, 2023
Undoubtedly, our industry needs to create more initiatives to attract a more diverse group of professionals, including women, to STEM-focused careers like cybersecurity.
While women make up nearly 50% of the world's population, they only account for an estimated 24% of the cybersecurity workforce. At the same time, the cybersecurity skills gap remains dangerously high, and the volume of cyberattacks impacting organizations of all shapes and sizes is growing every day.
As we celebrate International Women's Month this March, we're reminded that there's much more that can and should be done to create opportunities for women to grow or jump-start a career in cybersecurity.
