About this session

Strong leadership is essential in the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, yet women remain underrepresented in senior roles across the industry. In this International Women’s Day panel, we explored the critical role of leadership in shaping the future of security, with a focus on the experiences, challenges, and successes of women in the field.

Our panellists shared insights on breaking barriers, fostering inclusive workplaces, and the impact of mentorship and advocacy in career progression. Through this discussion, we highlighted the importance of diverse leadership in building a more resilient and forward-thinking security industry, offering practical advice for both aspiring and established leaders.

This session was open to everyone – whether you’re looking to advance your own career, support inclusivity in your organisation, or gain valuable perspectives on leadership in cybersecurity.
