Building a stronger cybersecurity community takes more than technical innovation—it thrives on diverse voices, equitable opportunities, and authentic allyship. Women in cybersecurity continue to break barriers, challenge assumptions, and redefine leadership in the face of constant change. Yet lasting progress depends on collective commitment across the entire industry.

This session invites both women and allies to engage in candid, solutions-driven conversations about how we can better support, empower, and elevate women in cybersecurity. From celebrating successes to confronting systemic challenges, we’ll surface the perspectives and practical steps needed to build a more inclusive, resilient, and innovative security community.

In this interactive session, you will:

• Gain insights from peers on their experiences, challenges, and pathways to success in cybersecurity.

• Explore how allies can actively advance equity through mentorship, sponsorship, and advocacy.

• Leave with actionable strategies to foster inclusive cultures that strengthen teams, organizations, and the broader cyber community.

Building a more diverse and resilient cybersecurity workforce requires more than awareness, it requires action. Allyship is a critical part of that equation, as meaningful progress depends on individuals and organizations stepping up to champion equity, inclusion, and opportunity for women in cyber.

This session will explore what true allyship looks like in practice, from everyday advocacy and mentorship to policy changes and leadership commitments. Through real-world examples and candid discussion, speakers will highlight how allies can use their influence to remove barriers, amplify voices, and create cultures where women can thrive.

During this session you will:

– Learn the difference between passive support and active allyship, and why it matters.

– Uncover practical ways allies can advocate for women in cyber at every level of an organization.

– Learn strategies for building sustainable, inclusive cultures that benefit both individuals and the industry as a whole.
