We Are SEIDEA
We exist to close the cyber-security gender gap for BAME women.
According to Cybersecurity Ventures, there will be up to 3.5 million job openings by 2021. Meanwhile, women make up only 20% of the cybersecurity workforce. This number is much smaller when looking at the digital gender gap faced by black and ethnic minority women. While 20% shows an increase from a mere 11% in 2013, there's still a lot of opportunities to be seized in cybersecurity careers. We are an award-winning global movement to diversify the Cybersecurity industry that began in London, with Stephanie Itimi in 2018. Today, we are on a mission to increase the number of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) Women in Cybersecurity.
We offer the following benefits to our Members:
- Exclusive access to our recruitment events and roundtable discussions.
- Access to our virtual mentoring and virtual internship programs.
- A series of cybersecurity e-learning lectures and live webinars from industry experts.
