Microsoft has joined forces with global organisations to increase the number of women in the cybersecurity workforce and address the skills gap.
The tech giant has entered into partnerships with WOMCY, Women4Cyber, The International Telecommunications Union, and WiCyS.
Microsoft Corporate VP Kate Behncken said: “We must create more inclusive and supportive learning environments, and we see greater success in building confidence and soft skills among women with cohorts that are majority women.”
Behncken stated that the demand for women in cybersecurity roles is significant, especially among underrepresented demographics.
She added: “As a result, our expanded strategy will include a community of practice to support the continued growth of our nonprofit partners.”
