The challenge
Cybersecurity, a field traditionally perceived as technical and male-dominated, sees only 24% participation from women, according to (ISC)². Recognizing the critical need for gender diversity to bring unique perspectives against evolving cyber threats, DSCVR committed to creating a more inclusive environment by encouraging and training more women in this vital area.
