WiCyS is going global! 🌍 I recently spoke with Lynn Dohm, Executive Director of Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) in CyberSecurity, about their ambitious plans to take their renowned conference international. “Right now, our strategy for growth is going international... We have such a large community all around the world, and we have to ensure that we continue to engage them,” Lynn shared. With a solid five-year strategic plan and a sustainable, scalable business model, WiCyS is prepared to connect cybersecurity professionals worldwide like never before.

This sponsorship truly means the world to me. As a small business I have invested $80,000 of my own money into building Hacker in Heels into what it is today. I can't afford to give any more. To have a recognizable brand like Deepwatch acknowledge and financially back what I am doing to the tune of EVENT SPONSOR is a huge deal. It means that I personally don't have to cover the difference between what it costs to host a salon, and what ticket sales bring in. (Which is what I had to do for the Nashville Salon) It keeps the event accessible to those who want to attend with the sliding scale based on time-in-cyber. Without sponsors, Salons will not be able to continue. As beautiful and transformational as they are for the women who attend, I have to put my own (financial) oxygen mask on first. So if you've attended a Salon, are attending a Salon, or want to be attending a Salon, PLEASE express your gratitude to Deepwatch and Twingate, and encourage your company to consider sponsorship in 2025. #womenincybersecurity #cybersecurity #femalefounders

I was honored with an invitation for an interview about my cybersecurity journey at the Women in CyberSecurity (WiCyS) 2024 conference. The video here is from that interview. It is the piece of the interview where I am really talking about the need for diversity in cybersecurity. I am a huge champion for diversity in case my wide variety of non-tech cybersecurity careers during my cybersecurity career awareness week posts did not convince you. Here is why. The threat actors we are fighting against are incredibly varied. They come from different countries. Some are well-funded and others are working with very few resources. Their motives span political, socio-economic, and personal reasons. Their various backgrounds mean they design and implement cyberattacks in equally varied ways. As defenders, we are doing ourselves a disservice if we do not welcome people from every type of background and experience to the table. It is not one type of work that needs to be done. We need many types of people to do the work. #CybersecurityDiversity  #CybersecurityAwarenessMonth #31DaysofCybersecurityAwareness
