As we wrap up this week I am honored by the amount of enthusiasm and incredibly valuable feedback I've gotten with the announcement of our Women Techmakers (WTM) International Women's Day (IWD) 'Impact the Future' Campaign Event Launch in April. It will then run for 6 months culminating in October as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. Here's a blog post with the next iteration of our plans for the 'Cyber and Information Security Awareness WTM-Led Ambassador Mentorship' https://lnkd.in/es3tAPBR This program is designed for women who are earning their educational degrees, certificates, and certifications and are looking for a starting point or their next steps as they launch their cyber and information security professional careers in an industry that faces a talent gap and often has strict 2-year work experience requirements. We'll work together to find practical ways forward for all our mentees with the generosity of experience, skill, and time from our wonderful mentors. We are also welcoming partners who are organizations, businesses, and brands to collaborate with us to give us greater visibility, a broader reach, and in-kind resources. The link to the form to register your interest is in the blog post. Thank you again to everyone who has come on board so far. I am both grateful and impressed by the wealth of knowledge and commitment that is coming together. #cyberawareness #cyberdefense #cybersecurity #infosec #informationsecurityawareness #informationsecurity #dataprotection #dataprivacy #womenincybersecurity #womenincyber #womenintech
