If we think subject is only required to be professional, we are wrong!! So, let’s include some great achievements. Most of the world think of women’s safety!! As a return gift, women are also into the world’s security. To support them, we shall study some of the organizations or associations that relate to Women in Security.

WiCyS (Women in Cyber Security): It is a community of engagement, encouragement and support for women in cyber security. It is the premier organization with a national reach dedicated to bringing together women in cyber security from academia, research and industry to share knowledge, experience, networking and mentoring. They also work with universities and help students to understand what being a security expert. Isn’t that interesting? Click here for more details and support!!

WoSEC (Women of Security): It was started by a lady from Ottawa (Canada) known as Tanya Janca as she saw the wonderful friendships that Cyber Ladies in Israel have, and she thought “I want that too, that’s a fantastic idea”. WoSEC has resulted in: women starting businesses together, mentoring relationships, job interviews, internships, people being able to recruit from our community, a cheering squad showing up to surprise female speakers, standing up for each other, priceless advice, and friendship. That’s inspiring!! More details here.

WomenHackerz: It provides guidance, workshops, CTFs, job opportunities, networking and much more! WomenHackerz, if you identify as a woman or a non-binary individual in any way that’s meaningful to you. WomenHackerz believe in inter sectional feminism, and therefore our doors are open to women (cisgender or transgender) and non-binary people across all nationalities, races, religions, ages, and other characteristics that make each of us unique.

InfoSecGirls: It a community  for women passionate about information security. They say :Our main objective is to get women curious about information security. We aim to do this by encouraging more women to actively participate in events like security conferences & community meet-ups. The field of information security lacks a community for women to provide support and mentor ship within the community, as well as actively encourage women in other fields interested in security. Know more?

WiCS (Women in Cyber Security Foundation): It is a discipline-specific community for women working in cyber security. The main goal of WiCS is to foster connections among the under-represented women in the various cyber security fields (research, programming, policy, architecture, design, management, communications etc.).
