Women Who Cyber brings together a diverse group of aspiring and thriving cybersecurity professionals for dynamic, interactive events where attendees can network with peers, establish meaningful relationships, share knowledge, and enjoy unique experiences while engaging in conversations around the latest cyber threats, evolving security insights, and emerging industry trends.

Women account for only 22% of the global cybersecurity workforce. Proofpoint wants to help change that, and we want you to be involved. Join us in our efforts to bring more women into the industry, retain and elevate more women into leadership positions, and explore how to address the widespread talent shortages critical to driving continued innovation.

You’ll learn from, and be inspired by, our panel of influential women as they discuss how they broke through the glass ceiling and continue to pave the way for women to lead and excel in the industry. They’ll also discuss the unique challenges women face, as well as the importance of diversity and gender equality in the workplace. Learn and be inspired as our panel of influential women discuss:

  • How women are reshaping the industry
  • How women can grow and enhance their career
  • The importance of interpersonal skills, including leadership skills and emotional intelligence
  • Discuss emerging cyber threats, security trends, and key industry developments
