The time for incremental change is over. We must act boldly to close the gender gap in tech. This means breaking systemic barriers and ensuring women are not just included but empowered to lead. Companies must set real targets, hold leadership accountable, and create workplaces where women thrive, not just survive. In cybersecurity, we need more women shaping the future of digital resilience. Mentorship, sponsorship, and equitable opportunities must be the norm, not the exception. Let’s accelerate action because diversity is not just a metric. It is the driving force of innovation.
