Women in cybersecurity make a difference every day through their different abilities, talent, commitment, innovation, dedication, and perseverance.
We are very pleased, along with all CEFCYSians, to launch this award to recognize, honor and celebrate the achievements of these deserving women in one of the most challenging and demanding fields of information technology, which is cybersecurity.
Your contribution is invaluable to the CEFCYS, and on behalf of all our members, we thank you for your participation in this second edition of the Cyber Women’s Award.

“Accenture is a continuous change actor and has always favored an inclusive environment where our employees are invited to break down stereotypes and prejudices related to gender. It is therefore with great enthusiasm that Accenture Security France is committed to CEFCYS in favor of the visibility of Women in Cybersecurity, in particular on the occasion of CyberWomenDay as a sponsor. I will be proud and delighted to be present on October 26th to support the event and participate in the round table. Thank you and congratulations to CEFCYS for this already unmissable event!”
Michael Bittan
Executive Director of Accenture Security France.
“As a woman evolving in the field of cybersecurity for ten years, company manager, involved in the CEFCYS since its creation, supporting the Cyber Woman Trophy for two years is a natural decision, as I did for the book “Je ne porte pas de sweat à capuches, pourtant je travaille dans la cybersécurité” published in January 2020. Valuing the women who work in our sector, to put forward “inspiring profiles” capable of arousing vocations among young girls and women in retraining, show the richness and diversity of possible career paths, support the actions and actors who work in the field in this sense, with this year a European dimension that makes sense… This is the vocation of the Cyber Woman Trophy that I am proud, with the CyberCircle, to support.”
Bénédicte Pilliet
President of CyberCercle.
“Present on a daily basis to empower the presence of women in professions related to information security systems, and more broadly in digital field, we are one of the first CEFCYS sponsors. It is always with great conviction that we support initiatives around Women of Cyber as well as any projects moving towards greater plurality. After the first trophy of Women of Cyber in France, the support for the first trophy of Women of Cyber in Europe was for us a no brainer!”
Jean-Claude Tapia
President ATOS Digital Security, Director Atos Cybersecurity Services France.
“A commitment that resonates more than ever with our times, when it is necessary to assert values in the cyber world, to demystify and raise awareness about exciting jobs and careers.”
Gaëlle Picard

Kaspersky’s general manager – France & North Africa, the West and the Center.
“Within the Orange Group and our subsidiary Orange Cyberdefense, we are convinced that the equal opportunity for men and women in all cybersecurity professions is a key to face tomorrow’s cyber challenges. Women cyber experts are still too few in spite of their skills and even though there is an obvious lack of resources.
Supporting the Cyber Women’s Trophy by highlighting the cyber careers of extraordinary women is one of our actions to encourage vocations and make women want to be part of the exciting world of cyber security.”
Hugues Foulon
CEO orange cyberdefense.
“As an advance in our ‘Women in Cyber’ initiative, Sopra Steria’s partnership with CefCys is an obvious choice… For the past several years Sopra Steria has been sharing inspiring testimonies from men and women who are experts in the field and committed to gender diversity in cybersecurity. In supporting EuropeanCyberWomenDay 2021, we are proud to accelerate this dynamic and to promote the expertise of women in order to create many more new vocations on a European scale!”
Fabien Lecoq
Head of cybersecurity business unit.
“As a concerned and committed actor for inclusion and parity in society, GreenBow is very supportive of the work CEFCYS is doing to value and professionalize the presence of women in the world of cybersecurity, women who currently only represent 10% of the workforce in this sector. During the European Cyber Security Month GreenBow is supporting CEFCYS by sponsoring the Cyber Woman Trophy to further popularise and encourage cyber women.”
Mathieu Isaïa
General Director Thegreenbow.
“It is essential for WALLIX to take part in the European CyberWomenDay in order to promote women in this historically male sector. This event allows us to share our experiences and solutions together to pave the way for future female graduates! By highlighting women and their success stories, the CEFCYS and its partner companies are highlighting role models who are already changing the face of cybersecurity. This international day also reflects the values co-constructed with the Wallixians: Audacity, Team Spirit and Commitment.”
