Panel Session: Balance the Scales
Have you ever asked why women's participation in Australia's cyber security industry only accounts for 17%? Have you ever asked what can be done to remediate this very shocking statistic? Come along to Perth's AWSN/AISA/ISACA combined IWD event to find out what our expert panel of women in cyber security think and are doing about this.
Following the presentation, participants will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers during a Q&A session.
