Promoting Women in Cybersecurity
As the financial sector faces a global shortage of cybersecurity professionals coupled with an increase in targeted threats, FS-ISAC is pleased to invest in cybersecurity talent development through an annual scholarship for women.
Launched in 2016, the Women in Cyber Scholarship is 100 percent funded through the generosity of our members. Through contributing sponsorships, firms provide both financial support and mentorship to rising young women pursuing cybersecurity careers in financial services in the United States, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, or Africa.
Benefits of Sponsorship
- Recruitment – first access to promising new talent in the cybersecurity field
- Development – provide staff opportunity to be mentors and grow professionally
- Complimentary pass to regional Summit or event for Mentor and Mentee
The sponsorship window has closed.
Benefits to Students
- Award - $10,000 USD scholarship for 2022-23 academic year
- Mentorship – learn about cybersecurity in the financial sector directly from experts in the field
- Networking – attend FS-ISAC Summit or event in your region (registration, travel and accommodations included)
