Advancement And Growth Opportunities For Women In Cybersecurit
Fortinet News, Wednesday, May 10,2023
Fortinet's initiatives to close the cybersecurity skills gap include bringing more diverse talent into the field to help fill critical roles, including supporting the advancement of women in technology and their professions.
As part of this commitment and in celebration of International Women's Day this year, Fortinet hosted our inaugural Women in Technology conference centered around recruiting, retaining, and advancing women in cybersecurity, all while creating a community of engagement, encouragement, and support.
The experience offered customers, partners, and employees the opportunity to build strategies to elevate their personal brands and connect with accomplished female leaders across the industry. We were able to learn more about two conference attendees, Jessica Nemmers (Field CISO at Flair Data Systems) and Elizabeth Hudak (Director of Data Center, Network and Telecom at Element Fleet Management), about their career trajectories and experiences in cybersecurity, as well as advice to other women in tech.
