WiCyS State of Inclusion Assessment
The WiCyS State of Inclusion of Women in Cybersecurity report aims to educate organizations and their leaders on the meaning and business value of inclusion. The report helps to shed light on specific issues that cause women in cybersecurity to feel excluded—which in turns reduces their satisfaction, productivity and retention rates.
In our study to measure inclusion, more than 1,000 individuals that identify women and men in cybersecurity used a confidential platform to share experiences that caused them to feel excluded. For each experience, they selected one or more categories (e.g., compensation, career, work-life balance), and one or more sources (e.g., managers, peers, leaders and HR).
