Cyber Ladies Meet-up: Ctrl, Alt, Empower
In recognition of International Women’s Day on 8 March, the Municipality of The Hague and All the Cyber Ladies, endorsed by Women4Cyber and Security Delta, are hosting a networking event and reception on 7 March. This event is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of cybersecurity and IT, with a particular focus on fostering diversity and inclusion within the sector.
The programme will feature insightful speakers, networking opportunities, and a reception, offering participants the chance to expand their professional network and gain valuable insights from experienced professionals in cyber security.
Why is this event important? The underrepresentation of women in cyber security remains a challenge:
– Women constitute only 24% of the IT workforce, with an even lower representation in cyber security—approximately 11% worldwide.
– Despite a growing demand for cyber security professionals, the number of women in the sector has not increased significantly in recent years.
– Research indicates that diverse teams contribute to greater innovation and creativity, highlighting the need for more inclusivity in technical cyber security roles.
By bringing together professionals from diverse backgrounds, this event aims to encourage knowledge sharing, facilitate dialogue, and promote a more inclusive cyber security community. Participation is open to all, regardless of gender.
A limited number of places are still available. Secure your spot today by registering via:
