Women in Cyber Security
Manage episode 343787830 series 3372765
We're back with another episode of the Razorwire Podcast!
In our new episode, we're going to talk about women in cyber security.
As part of this, I've invited three fantastic women on this podcast who are leaders in their fields. Firstly, we have Megan Brown, our guest host for this episode. Megan is currently Head of International Sales at LogicGate.
Megan’s guests today may be familiar to you from previous episodes: Stefania Chaplin, a solutions architect at GitHub, and Claire Davies, CISO at Arriva Group.
They discuss how they got into the cyber security space, the challenges they faced, what the differences are for women working in a traditionally male industry today compared to when they began their careers, and the role their mentors played in their journey, as well as how we see the industry and the landscape changing for women in tech.
Megan, Stefania and Claire share their perspective on how jobs and expectations within cyber security are changing. They also tell us about the challenges of working in cyber security, how to overcome them and what brings the most joy to their work. The episode provides a glimpse into a cyber security from a female perspective, and I hope you enjoy it.
Check out this episode on your favourite podcasting platform to join the conversation with these incredible women.
If you are a new listener to Razorwire, we would love to hear from you. For more information about us or if you have any questions you would like us to discuss on the podcast email podcast@razorthorn.com.
In this episode, we covered the following topics:
- The career journey of three women at different career stages and within different areas of cyber security
- The path that led them to their current position
- How have mentors or allies helped them in their careers?
- Compared to when they began, what changes have they seen in the industry?
- What changes are happening to the work culture in cyber security and jobs in general?
- What is the most challenging aspect of working in cyber security today, and what is the most enjoyable?
