14. Women are Critical in cyber Security. How can you Hire & Retain them?

Women are crucial to the effectiveness of any cybersecurity team. They possess a unique ability to perceive risk differently than their male counterparts, an invaluable trait in a field that depends on accurately assessing risk to make optimal decisions. Also, they're tons of fun to work with! Our guest, Jane Frankland, is a serial entrepreneur, speaker, and brand ambassador dedicated to inspiring women and driving significant change in cybersecurity. She founded IN Security, a movement aimed at closing the gender gap in the field. In this episode, we discuss the importance of increasing female representation in corporate environments. We explore strategies for hiring and retaining more women in the workforce. The key to success in these endeavors is surprisingly straightforward: it involves listening to their perspectives and adapting our approaches to be more inclusive. Additional Tips for Attracting More Women to Your Security Department: Track your application data to identify where potential barriers exist. Ensure job descriptions are gender-neutral, as male-centric language can deter women from applying. Be mindful of parental responsibilities and strive to offer flexible options whenever possible. While we focus on women, these practices are equally important for supporting non-binary individuals. Enjoy the podcast? Please consider sharing it with someone that you love.
