"My recommendation is to NOT be intimidated by what seems like an intimidating field still dominated mostly by males. We are working diligently to change that, and we need more women in cyber. Some jobs in cyber security are technical (engineering and development), but there are plenty of jobs in my field that require non-technical skills. We need project and program managers to direct the work of the teams and land big programs. We need people to understand the aspects and impacts of risk management. We need people to develop security policies. We need educators to teach cybersecurity, and we need leaders to lead teams and motivate people. When I speak at conferences and to students I tell everyone the same thing: I can teach you cyber security. I cannot teach you drive, passion, and work ethic – you need to come to the table with those skills."
