Originally presented as part of the DIF2022 Festival on Wednesday 31 August 2022
Australia’s security sector is growing exponentially, but it is widely understood the sector is experiencing a skills and diversity crisis. How do we move forward?
In this session we take a deep dive into the gender dimensions at play in the Australian cyber security landscape.
Our guest panel will discuss why gender and diversity is so important in the security field, how we can look to address the cyber skills shortage.
Join us as our guest panel discuss these important gender dimensions in the security industry.

RMIT University - Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation
The RMIT University Centre for Cyber Security Research and Innovation (CCSRI) is a multi-disciplinary research centre that brings researchers from across RMIT to bring a truly multidisciplinary approach to the organisational, human and technology aspects of Cyber Security.
Australian Women in Security Network
The Australian Women in Security Network (AWSN) started in 2015 to connect women who were often feeling isolated in organisations and in tertiary education institutions with likeminded individuals.
Women and those who identify themselves as female make up half our population, however the number of women working in security is less than 25%.
