Why is there a shortage of female leaders in security?
How do we encourage women to become leaders?
How do you become a leader in a male-dominated industry?
Join us for our first Webinar to discuss all of the above questions and help answer a few more.
We will be joined by three security professionals who will share their thoughts on why we are still lacking women at leadership-level and how we can diversify decision-makers in the industry. They will also share their own stories of how they became successful leaders and how we can encourage other women to follow suit.
This will be a panel-style event, which will also open up an interactive Q&A with the audience towards the end.
