Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) plays a pivotal role in recruiting and retaining women in the cybersecurity field, aiming to address a critical shortage of skills within the industry. With over 11,000 members globally, the organization focuses on aligning member priorities with programming to bridge existing workforce gaps. The high attrition rate within cybersecurity roles is concerning, prompting initiatives aimed at professional development and retention. Programs like the Security Training Scholarship are designed to uncover and nurture hidden talent, ensuring a robust and diverse workforce moving forward.
We continue to grow that ecosystem, but we make sure that we understand our members' priorities align with our programming efforts to help overcome and bridge those gaps and challenges that we're seeing in the workforce.
Being a partner of WiCyS helps fill that really critical professional development piece for them, for individuals in their career, so that they're not leaving the workforce.
We were determined to find people with the proper aptitude, grit, and determination to invest in them.
In 2020, WiCys developed its Security Training Scholarship, a signature program designed to find the hidden talent.
