The Role of Women in the Cyberspace (ITU)

The panel discussion will focus on raising awareness about the importance of cyber security as a career choice for young women in particular. The discussion will stress the importance of doing better marketing of selling jobs to young women but also more importantly, that a great number of cybersecurity jobs require more interpersonal skills than technical ones. They also require analytical thinking, teamwork skills, communication skills, and leadership skills, all of which can be learned in fields other than technology.
