Athena’s Podium
Danielle Jablanski, OT Cybersecurity Strategist
Currently, women make up less than a quarter of the cyber security workforce, according to 2019 data from an ISC(2) report. To encourage more women to pursue careers in cybersecurity, there needs to be a change in perception and the working environment, so women view the career path as one of inclusion and opportunity.
As part of this, there need to be more visible female role models who embody successful career paths in cyber. In this talk, you will hear Danielle Jablanski's personal experience in this field, the challenges but also the opportunities, what is cyber security and why diversity is important in this field, and how Women are making an impact on this sector.
In Cyber Security, the best defense is learning as much as you can about the offense and be able to reverse engineer offense tactics to build a good defense.
