Why We Created The WIT Summit

The Women in Trust summit was created to celebrate an underrepresented group in the cybersecurity space, an industry in which men have historically been overrepresented. Traditionally, women and professionals who don't identify as male have made up less than 25% of the roles in cybersecurity. This event will bring together women on the forefront of the future of trust, cybersecurity, and privacy to learn, network, and discuss experiences and ideas.

In addition to industry professionals who identify as female, we also welcome our non-binary and non-gender conforming colleagues in the trust, cybersecurity, and privacy space.
