The Office for Science and Technology of the Embassy of France in the United States, in association with CEFCYS (Cercle des femmes de la cybersécurité in France) and WiCyS (Women in Cybersecurity in the US) is organizing a French-American conversation on the importance of broadening women’s participation in cybersecurity.
With the global pandemic and the increasing digitalization of our societies, new threats have emerged and existing issues have become more salient. Now more than ever, it is important to prepare for future challenges by discussing the still untapped potential for more women to pursue careers in the field of cybersecurity, talk about the challenges and see the opportunities for progress and Transatlantic collaboration.
