WiCyS Australia
Promoting the presence and advancement of Australian women in the cyber security industry.
There are many paths women can take to create a career in Cyber Security and many opportunities, technical and non-technical, where women can excel. But more than often, these pathways can be tricky to navigate alone. Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) Australia supports women by nurturing their passion for growth in the Cyber Security sector. Established in August 2020, WiCyS Australia provides women with an opportunity to engage with the wider, national and international community through year-round events, webinars, conferences, industry panels, mentoring programs and more!
WiCyS Australia aims to promote the cyber security discipline and profession by retaining, recruiting, and advancing the presence and leadership of women, non-binaries, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who are passionate in the field of cyber security.
