Women in Cyber Security

One Day Session at c0c0n XII

Cyber security has become one of the hottest and fastest-growing fields in technology across the globe today. Despite the continuous growth in cyber security spending and opportunities, women’s representation in the cyber workforce remains low - even more so than in IT. This is against a backdrop of a growing skills shortage in cyber; by 2022 there could be a global deficit of 1.8 million cyber security professionals.

Cyber has a gender problem, reports states that there is an alarmingly low percentage of women holding Cyber Security positions. It is predicted that women will represent only 20 percent of the global cyber security workforce by the end of 2019. This 20 percent figure is still way too low, and we needs to continue pushing for more women in cyber.

How can we begin to bridge this gap? And move the needle in the right direction. One way is to encourage more women into cyber security; another is to offer them equal opportunity to rise to senior leadership roles. Kerala Police is committed to addressing this gender imbalance with the 12th edition of Cyber Security and Hacking Conference c0c0nXII - Women in Cyber Security.

"We aim to narrow the gender gap by spreading awareness of the various opportunities that are available to women in cyber, by addressing gender biases in the field, and by initiating a dialogue."

We are organising a 1 Day Work shop on Web Application Penetration Training at St. Teresas College, Ernakulam as a pre-conference Training Programme on 26th September 2019.
