Women know cybersecurity and they’re heavily involved in our industry. Don’t let anyone or any survey tell you otherwise. Just in case you don’t believe it, we’ve written a book to help prove it. It’s a new wave book that is based on the Twitter list @WomenKnowCyber researched and compiled by Cybercrime Magazine and published by Cybersecurity Ventures."Women Know Cyber: 100 Fascinating Females Fighting Cybercrime" features cybersecurity experts from across the globe, with varying backgrounds, who stand out for protecting governments, businesses, and people from cybercrime — and for their contributions to our community.
Make no mistake about it — women are trending up in cybersecurity. How do we move the needle from 20 percent to 50 percent in the coming years? One answer may be that we need to look at the glass as being half-full, rather than half-empty — as has been the case for way too long by way too many people. Let’s highlight the sheer number of women in cybersecurity — in an effort to attract more women to an industry that desperately needs them. Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that there will be 3.5 million unfilled cybersecurity jobs globally by 2021, up from 1 million positions in 2014. The job openings are driven by a huge increase in cybercrime, which is predicted to cost the world $6 trillion annually by 2021, up from $3 trillion in 2015. There’s a cybersecurity career waiting for every girl and woman that wants one and is willing to gain the skills needed for employment. We hope that this book will inspire you — or someone you know — to think about becoming a woman in cybersecurity.
