Women make up a higher percentage of new entrants to the cyber security profession, but challenges around discrimination and equal pay persist.
Despite progress, the representation of women in security teams stands at 23%, expected to reach 35% in the next seven years, with drops in proportion after age 45.
Women in cyber are ambitious, better educated, and hold executive titles at a similar rate to men, with higher involvement in hiring decisions.
"It's great to see incremental progress of younger women entering cyber security, however, it's not enough and more needs to be done." - ISC2 CEO Clar Rosso
