Why Top Women in Cybersecurity?
ITWC is committed to supporting diversity and inclusion in the IT sector. The Top Women in Cybersecurity event was created by IT World Canada (ITWC) in association with the Women in Security & Resilience Alliance (WISECRA) and the Canadian Women in Security Forum to recognize women who have advanced the Canadian security industry.
We hope this recognition will not only highlight the diverse talents within Canada but also serve as an source of inspiration for aspiring young women. By showcasing the accomplishments of these exceptional women, we want to provide aspiring individuals with role models who can guide and motivate them to pursue fulfilling careers in the field of cybersecurity.
