Empower
Empowering women in cybersecurity is essential for driving innovation, enhancing diversity, and creating a more inclusive and resilient industry.
Women4Cyber Switzerland will organise webinars to empower its members and launch in the coming months a new Podcast.
We will organise specific mentoring programs, one for men willing to explore ways to increase diversity in their teams and another for women who would like to become speakers.
Inspire
Inspiring young generations to pursue diverse roles in cybersecurity is crucial for building a future workforce that is innovative, inclusive, and reflective of a wide range of perspectives and talents.
We will organise events in primary and secondary schools, and universities to showcase the diversity of jobs in cyber security.
We will build partnerships with different institutions and leverage existing initiatives to foster diversity in cyber security.
Lead
Women as leaders and role models in cybersecurity are vital for breaking barriers, inspiring future generations, and fostering a more inclusive and dynamic industry.
Women4Cyber Switzerland will launch a Register of Experts to increase the representation of Women Cyber security experts on Cyber security and tech conferences in Switzerland and in the media.
