My Journey As A Woman In Cyber Security
Cybersecurity is a very unique and niche career however, with this is the shortfall of skilled workers. In comparison to other roles, cybersecurity sees one of the largest gaps in its qualified workers; in 2021, it was estimated that there was a shortfall of around 3.5 million people. Cybersecurity also sees one of the biggest discrepancies in the female to male ratio in the workplace. In 2013, it was estimated that women in cyber security represent around 10% of the global cybersecurity workforce.
