Encouragement
“One of the most courageous things you can do is identify yourself, know who you are, what you believe in and where you want to go.” — Sheila Murray Bethel
“The success of every woman should be the inspiration to another. We should raise each other up. Make sure you’re very courageous: be strong, be extremely kind, and above all be humble.”
Our Impact
Our goal is to enable women in the field of Information Security to build the career they are striving for. At the core of our mission is a scholarship fund which will be awarded twice per year to assist women in InfoSec with continuous learning opportunities (certifications, tuition assistance, training and/or leadership courses). We also provide alternative educational opportunities through our strategic partnerships in the Information Security industry.
One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.
- John F. Kennedy
