Topic Abstract: <\/strong><\/p>\n

This webinar will present the key benefits of why more women should opt to build a career in cybersecurity and how they can do so. Cybersecurity roles are varied and in high demand across the world, and (bonus) women are very good at cybersecurity! Yet, they are underrepresented in the industry.<\/p>\n
