WoSEC (Women of Security) was started by a lady from Ottawa (Canada) known as Tanya Janca because she saw the wonderful friendships that Cyber Ladies in Israel have, and she thought “I want that too, that’s a fantastic idea”. Activities differs in every chapter but the global goal is to create a safe and friendly environment for women in the cybersecurity community, with the goal of achieving greater diversity, representation, and equality in this vibrant field. Our vision: Make an Information Security community that empowers women and values their contributions. Our Mission: Create a welcoming and inclusive environment that promotes, supports, and develops women in security by facilitating networking, education, and mentorship opportunities. Today, WoSEC is a community for women to make new friends in Security, so that women not only join our industry, but STAY.
