Being a woman is difficult and being a woman of colour only adds more barriers to attaining senior positions, especially in the cybersecurity field in which 20% of its labour force are women.

Seidea, in collaboration with Digital Leaders, will host a number of panellists to empower females of BAME backgrounds and debunk the myths around cybersecurity. They aim to do this by creating a platform in which participants can learn and be inspired by women who have against all odds accomplished great career goals within the cybersecurity field.
