Despite the growing demand and tremendous opportunities in the job market, cyber security remains an area where there is a significant shortage of skilledprofessionals regionally, nationally and internationally.
At EC-Council University we want to empower and recognize women who are results-driven and able to manage multiple disparate tasks while leading groups to achieve positive outcomes and astonishing professional successes.
Even worse, women’s representation in this male-dominated field of security is alarmingly low. Women are detail oriented with an analytical mind that quickly assess and achieve solutions to the most difficult problems, prioritizing and executing in a rapid, dynamic environment
