Why the Cybersecurity industry is cracking without enough women

SheCanCode's Spilling The T

An organisation in the United Kingdom is being attacked on average 854 times per week in the last 6 months, that makes it a prominent business risk, not just an IT issue. When you pair that with the impact just one breach can have, from mass amounts of personal data lost to large-scale disruption to our essential services, you begin to paint a picture of just how crucial defending against cybercriminals is.

Currently, the industry is struggling to keep up with the quantity of attacks as a result of insufficient talent to help support businesses and drive innovation. This is why Dr. Dorit Dor, Chief Technology Officer at cybersecurity company Check Point Software is spreading the word about why it’s essential to engage young women about how exciting a career in STEM can be, offering advice from someone who has climbed the ladder herself.
