Why this trophy?
The original mission of CEFCYS is to promote women in the cybersecurity sector. In 2020, we organized the first trophy for women in cyber in France, the #CYBERWOMANDAY, which was highly successful with more than 300 applications.
In 2022, CEFCYS takes another step forward by opening the trophy to the rest of Europe, the #EUROPEANCYBERWOMENDAY is borned.
This Trophy will celebrate women with remarkable career paths and achievements across Europe.
This is the vocation of CEFCYS: to arouse & support, thanks to the promotion of these “role models”, new vocations for this dynamic sector with high potential, which is at the same time strategic for a nation, a public and private organization.
