Today I attended the CIO/CISO Leaders Summit Australia, Melbourne 2024. I was offered a complimentary ticket by reps at Focus Network.
The event included both CIO and CISO streams, and we could attend sessions in either stream so I switched across a couple of times.
This photo was taken after a session titled: "Closing Keynote Panel Discussion: Breaking Barriers: Empowering Women in Cybersecurity and Tech – Strategies for Attracting and Retaining Female Talent" - where the majority of blokes decided to leave the room. Which pretty much sums up the problem with women in tech right there.
