There are millions of unfilled cybersecurity jobs worldwide, but women often feel unwelcome in the industry
This dearth of women in the cybersecurity field is a problem that Cat Coode, a data privacy consultant based in Waterloo, Ont., has experienced first-hand.
Still, these challenges have done little to dampen Ms. Coode’s passion for the field. In fact, she says one of the things she loves the most about cybersecurity is the diversity of opportunities available. These issues range from women being talked over in meetings, to having their ideas ignored or co-opted by their male colleagues, to never being recognized for their work. Dr. Stakhanova says those slights start early and can last a woman’s whole career.
Raphaelle Gauriau is an outlier – someone who was encouraged to seek paths that many young girls often aren’t. The information systems security manager at the University of Toronto studied mathematics and physics then got a master’s degree in computer science before landing her first job in the cybersecurity field.
