HYDERABAD: In India, there is a huge gender disparity in the cyber security workforce as only 21% of them are women, revealed speakers at the launch of the CyberShikshaa initiative. They pointed out that businesses which are more gender diverse are more successful.
“Today, having more women in the field is even more crucial as the cybersecurity issues are complex and need to be addressed with multiple perspectives in mind,” said Kate Behncken, vice president and global head of Microsoft Philanthropies.
