Community Description:

The WiC Advocates Community is geared towards providing: 

1. Support and community for people of all genders in cybersecurity who recognize that gender inequality and issues exist within cybersecurity and want to support change
2. Transparency on the topic of what it’s like to be a woman working in cybersecurity and the challenges that women continue to face 
3. Guidance for WiC Advocates who are looking to move up the ranks in the industry as well as those who are looking to get started on their career journey. We believe that there is space for people of all genders and backgrounds in cybersecurity and want to create constructive discussions, activities and talks on this subject to bring both awareness and change to our industries.

• How to recognize scenarios in which gender inequality is present and how to address them in a professional manner. 
• How to create constructive dialogues within the workplace to address gender issues.
• How to become an advocate to support women in cybersecurity.
