Feminine Firepower: Threat Intelligence and the role of ‘Mother’

Join Rebecca Taylor as she delves into the critical role of female representation in threat intelligence during her groundbreaking talk, "Feminine Firepower: Women in Threat Intelligence and the role of ‘Mother."
In an era where online dangers to children are escalating, Rebecca emphasizes the necessity of diverse perspectives in safeguarding our digital spaces, and the ‘real’ causes for concern as some of our most youngest and most vulnerable begin to create their own digital footprints.
As a staunch advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion, she asserts that the unique problem-solving skills and insights women bring are indispensable in countering these threats, as well as the criticality of feeding such integral information into the online safety initiatives and protection of those most at risk of cyber crime.
Rebecca's passion-driven talk not only champions the cause of empowering more women to enter this dynamic field but will also highlight key threat intelligence all women can leverage in their day-to-day lives to best protect themselves and their families. By diversifying the threat intelligence landscape and making such critical information searchable and accessible, we can create a safer cyber world for all.
