Today's cybersecurity professionals face their fair share of challenges. From AI and phishing attacks to remote work and mobile security, the threat landscape is constantly evolving, and studies show that there aren't enough cybersecurity experts available to meet these threats adequately.

當今的網絡安全專業人員面臨着相當多的挑戰。從人工智能和網絡釣魚攻擊到遠程工作和移動安全,威脅格局在不斷變化,研究表明,沒有足夠的網絡安全專家來充分應對這些威脅。

What's more, the existing cybersecurity field is mostly white and male, despite data from the latest ISC2 Cybersecurity Workforce Survey that shows nearly 70% of cybersecurity professionals see inclusion as critical to their teams' success. Estimates show that only 22% of the cybersecurity workforce in Europe is currently made up of women.

更重要的是,儘管最新的ISC2網絡安全勞動力調查的數據顯示,將近70%的網絡安全專業人員認爲包容性對團隊的成功至關重要,但現有的網絡安全領域主要是白人和男性。估計顯示,歐洲目前只有22%的網絡安全勞動力由女性組成。

That's where we come in. In April 2024, Gen signed a Pledge to the European Commission Digital Skills and Jobs Platform to help close the gender gap in the tech sector and train more women for success in cybersecurity fields. Through our longstanding partnership with Women4Cyber, we will support free mentorship to 1,000 women across Europe by April 2025. Together, we have also set a goal for 15% of each mentorship cohort to consist of women from underrepresented backgrounds.

這就是我們的用武之地。2024年4月,Gen簽署了歐盟委員會數字技能和就業平台承諾,以幫助縮小科技領域的性別差距,並培訓更多女性在網絡安全領域取得成功。通過與Women4Cyber的長期合作伙伴關係,我們將支持到2025年4月爲歐洲各地的1,000名女性提供免費指導。我們還共同設定了目標,即每個導師隊伍中有15%由來自代表性不足的背景的女性組成。

"As a global leader in consumer Cyber Safety, Gen has a mission to create solutions that enable people to navigate their digital lives safely, privately and confidently," said Gen CEO Vincent Pilette. "As part of this mission, we are also deeply invested in closing the cybersecurity skills and talent gap in the European Union and globally. We highly value the opportunity to join forces with other organizations through Women4Cyber to support women in improving their cybersecurity skills and the advancement of their careers at all levels."

Gen首席執行官文森特·皮萊特表示:“作爲消費者網絡安全領域的全球領導者,Gen的使命是創建解決方案,使人們能夠安全、私密和自信地度過數字生活。”“作爲這項使命的一部分,我們還在縮小歐盟和全球網絡安全技能和人才差距方面進行了大量投資。我們高度重視通過Women4Cyber與其他組織聯手的機會,以支持女性提高網絡安全技能並在各個層面發展其職業生涯。”

Empowering Women to Succeed in Cybersecurity

賦予女性在網絡安全領域取得成功的能力

Gen will carry out our pledge through our exclusive sponsorship of the Women4Cyber Mentoring Programme, which is open to women of all experience levels. The program pairs mentees with Gen and other corporate mentors for a six-month training program that covers skills development and career progression. Additional features include networking opportunities, supplementary webinars and more.

Gen將通過獨家贊助Women4Cyber指導計劃來兌現我們的承諾,該計劃向所有經驗水平的女性開放。該計劃將學員與Gen和其他企業導師配對,參加爲期六個月的培訓計劃,涵蓋技能發展和職業發展。其他功能包括交流機會、補充網絡研討會等。

Our Pledge raises the profile of our partnership with Women4Cyber, which began in 2022 and includes an investment of $150,000 annually for three years. Since the start of our work together, the organization has mentored nearly 700 European women, many of whom were mentored directly by Gen team members. Hundreds more have attended Women4Cyber events, webinars and the annual W4C Conference.

我們的承諾提高了我們與Women4Cyber的合作伙伴關係的知名度,該合作始於2022年,包括爲期三年的每年投資15萬美元。自我們開始合作以來,該組織已經指導了近700名歐洲女性,其中許多人是由Gen團隊成員直接指導的。還有數百人蔘加了Women4Cyber活動、網絡研討會和年度W4C會議。

Anyone looking to sign up as a mentor or mentee should bookmark this page. The next cohort will open in the fall.

任何想註冊成爲導師或受訓者的人都應將此頁面加入書籤。下一批將在秋季開放。

Driving Industry-Wide Change

推動全行業變革

As part of the pledge, Gen will also lead two public, virtual roundtable discussions about women in the IT sector more broadly, raising awareness of the critical need for change in the industry and the opportunities for growth that inclusion provides. This issue has long been a strategic focus for Gen, as demonstrated by our work with organizations such as Czechitas and nasscom foundation, which promote the upskilling of women with cyber skills in the Czech Republic and India, respectively.

作爲承諾的一部分,Gen還將主持兩次關於更廣泛的IT領域女性的公開虛擬圓桌討論,以提高人們對行業變革的迫切需求以及包容性帶來的增長機會的認識。這個問題長期以來一直是Gen的戰略重點,我們與Czechitas和nasscom基金會等組織的合作就證明了這一點,這些組織分別促進了捷克共和國和印度女性提高網絡技能的技能。

"I'm thrilled that we are able to continue our collaboration with Gen under the banner of an official Pledge on the EU Cybersecurity Skills Academy," said Nina Olesen, Chief Operating Officer, Women4Cyber. "With the help of experienced mentors and dedicated networking activities, women will be equipped with the tools to navigate their journey in cybersecurity while opening doors within the job market. I hope that the program will serve as a catalyst for mentorship and onboarding of young talent in cyber at scale."

Women4Cyber首席運營官妮娜·奧萊森表示:“我很高興我們能夠在歐盟網絡安全技能學院正式承諾的旗幟下繼續與Gen合作。”“在經驗豐富的導師和專門的社交活動的幫助下,女性將獲得在網絡安全領域開啓大門的工具,同時打開就業市場的大門。我希望該計劃能夠成爲大規模指導和招募年輕網絡人才的催化劑。”
