The nominations for the 4th annual Most Inspiring Women in Cyber Awards, sponsored by BT and hosted by Eskenzi PR, have opened. The event, to be held on the 27th February 2024 at the BT Tower in London, will honour the 25 most inspiring women in the cybersecurity industry. The awards are also supported by media partners Assured Intelligence, Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) UK & Ireland Affiliate and the IT Security Guru.
In its fourth year, the awards are an opportunity to shed light on some of the remarkable women working within the cybersecurity industry, especially those who are paving the way for other women and girls considering a career in the field. The UK Government estimates that, in 2023, women made up only 17% of the cyber sector workforce in the UK, with, additionally, only 14% of senior roles in the industry were filled by women. It’s evidently important for wellbeing, retention and career longevity, that women in cyber roles have forums where they can network and support one another.
The Most Inspiring Women in Cyber Awards aims to bring together and empower incredible women (both established and those starting out their careers) and make long lasting connections.
Nominations can be submitted via this link and will remain open until 5pm on 31st January 2024. An esteemed panel of judges will then review the submissions and narrow the list down to the Top 20, each of whom will be profiled on the IT Security Guru. There will also be five women crowned ‘ones to watch’. This year’s judging panel includes:
