Vision & Voice, an Inclusive Community for Female Cybersecurity Leaders, Announces its Advisory BoardToday, Vision & Voice, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the next generation of female leaders in cybersecurity, unveiled its official Advisory Board, a prominent committee of seasoned female professionals. The Vision & Voice Advisory Board will help the community's 600+ members build, fortify and grow each successive generation of female talent entering and ascending in the workforce. "Until very recently, cybersecurity was almost an entirely male-dominated industry. In recent years, there has been some solid progress - but there also remains a lot of work to be done, specifically related to increasing the number of women in leadership roles," said Lisa Hayashi, Founder of Vision & Voice and CMO at SafeGuard Cyber. "In 2022, 25% of cybersecurity jobs were held by women globally; up by 5% since 2019, but still a long way from true equity. Only 17% of CISO positions in Fortune 500 companies are held by women; just 85 out of 500 positions. The industry can do a better job elevating women and inviting them to a seat at the table. Together with the newest members of our advisory board, Vision & Voice remains committed to creating more leadership and growth opportunities for women in cybersecurity professions." The fourteen members of the Vision & Voice Advisory Board represent more than 260 years of business, cybersecurity, and technology industry experience. Advisory Board members include:
