Cybersecurity for Woman (cfw)

Globally, high end digitalization, cloud computing, Internet of Things, electronic transactions, social media, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence, and wireless technologies are magnetically attracting more people and businesses to step on the accelerator in a fast-paced world.

In tandem, the scale and advanced sophistication of the cybercrime spectrum is also intensifying at a feverish pace!

The magnitude of the damages inflicted by the cybercrimes poses a serious threat to the safety of not just businesses or individuals but, countries at large.

Huge job market for women cybersecurity professionals!

Like in every other sector, cybersecurity ventures are increasingly seeking women professionals not only to diversify their workforce but to contribute for a safer and secure cyber world. There is a hugely untapped work resource left out if more women do not join in. Intelligent Lady-hackers are in demand!

By the end of the year 2021, there will be an estimated 3.5 million job opportunities in cybersecurity fields. Therefore, while about 48% of the women workforce preferred the STEM and other related job opportunities in the USA, there was just 14% of women opting for the information security sector. Organizations are also debunking the myth that women professionals are paid lesser than their male counterparts.

Why should women opt for cybersecurity professions?

A recent study showed that more women are using the internet compared to men across all age groups. The reports also show that there is an overwhelming increase in the number of women falling victims to cyber threats, fraud and crimes. Online stalking has claimed 26% of the women victims while online sexual harassment has victimized 25% of women. Increase in online networking and transactions is bound to exponentially increase the percentage of cybercrime victims especially the women.

Women are ever more armed with higher education and certification credentials compared to their male counterparts in tackling cyber threats. The key areas women focussed in cyber defence are:

Risk analysis & management
Threat intelligence analysis
Security engineering

While asserting themselves with their professional skills, the survey reports find that the number of women rooting for the CTO post is 5% more than men, for VP of IT post they are ahead of men by 4% and in the corporate executive level they are ahead by a whopping 9%!

Plug the gap!

More the contribution of women workforce in cyber defence, they can offer motivation to more of them to join the field. However, the survey also shows that there are lesser women in this field compared to men.

More women workforce forms the base for a positive environment, plugs the gender gap while building a robust cybersecurity team, and results in innovative and diverse solutions to problems.
