WIS SIG “Overcoming the Real Barriers to Women in Security”

Teleconference on 8 MAY 2016 4-5 PM ET, Presented by Hanna Sicker, Sr. Manager, Security and Network Operations Center, StubHub (an eBay company) Monday, May 09, 2016, 16:00 – 17:00 Eastern

Women account for only 10% of the InfoSec workforce — without any improvement over the past 3-5 years — in spite of all the talk, reports, research, and company commitment to change this trend – and despite studies predicting a deficit of 1.5 million professionals by 2020.

Why has there been no improvement in recruiting more women into the security field?
What are the real challenges that are keeping women away from security?
When will women leaders in security walk their talk?
How can women overcome the challenges and be proactive to fill the gap?
