Event Type : Diversity and Inclusion

The next gathering of our Scotland Women in Cyber group is taking place as part of Cyber Scotland Week 2023 on Wednesday 1st March.

Scotland Women in Cyber aims to create a community of female cyber leaders working in Scotland, in order to share challenges, advice and insights with a like-minded group.

Hosted by Abertay’s cyberQuarter, this session will have plenty of opportunity for networking, as well as brilliant guest speakers.

We will be joined by Juliette Wilcox, UK Cyber Security Ambassador, Department of International Trade, who will discuss:

• What roles are available for women in cyber
•  Comparison between tech/non-tech roles
•  Are there tech roles that women avoid due to out of hour work commitments – for example – SOC

Plus Jordan Schroeder, CISO at Barrier Networks, will give his ’Suez Canal’ talk on the importance of cyber security in the supply chain, followed by a fireside chat with Juliette, Jordan, My Empire Group’s Alex Woerndle and ScotlandIS CEO Karen Meechan. 

The event is not only for women; any male allies that are interested and supportive of our purpose are more than welcome!

The Digital Skills Network event with BCS is supported by Skills Development Scotland and will bring together representatives from across industry, education, local government and policy makers, who will come together to discuss their experiences of digital transformation so far, their strategy for the future and the opportunity to build an inclusive and diverse talent pipeline.

This event will come to life with talks, discussions, and perspectives across a wide range of digital skills topics including:

• The existing initiatives in Scotland to bridge the gap between education and industry.
• How to meet industry demand with a supply of diverse, skilled talent and the inclusion of underrepresented groups through a range of programmes and pathways into employment.
• You’ll get to hear about the digital skills growth within emerging sectors.
• Policy makers and educators will discuss and respond to the discussion points made on the day.

The event will close with a fireside chat in support of International Women’s Day with ScotlandIS CEO Karen Meechan taking part, followed by networking drinks.
