Women in Cyber

We have worked on a preliminary version of the Manifesto, which aims at identifying a set of objectives to be implemented in support of increasing the number of women in cybersecurity within Europe.
During the workshop, representatives of the cybersecurity industry, education, research, legal, entrepreneurship and investment areas have brought their contributions to the Manifesto preparation with real cases and innovative ideas. The preliminary version of the Manifesto has been revised during the workshop.
The final version of the Manifesto can be downloaded here.

To date women represent only 24% of the workforce in the cybersecurity domain.
The figure increased over the years, but it is still far from reflecting a balanced representation of both genders. Taking into account the current circumstances, the workshop aims to provide a forum for engaging with stakeholders from different areas of cybersecurity to agree on a common objectives in view of bridging the gender gap by increasing the number of women in cybersecurity.
The expected workshop outcome is the launch of the
“Women in Cyber – a Manifesto for TODAY” .
