THE CEFCYS IN ACTION

CEFCYS aims at animating a community of women working or aspiring to contribute to the field of Cybersecurity by:

Valuing and enhancing women’s professional skills through working groups, mentoring programs, publication of newsletters and reports…
Organizing and/or participating in events and conferences in France and abroad.
Raising awareness among companies, educational partners, and recruiters about the importance of gender parity and thus increasing the presence and impact of women.
Contributing to raising awareness about cybersecurity among the public through transparent citizen action in order to protect and educate youngsters to a safer use of digital technology.

Our latest activities…

Publication of the book “I don’t wear a hoodie, yet I work in cybersecurity”: an original guide for high school students, parents, educators, women wishing to develop their professional project…
Several video conferences organized during the Covid19 lockdown for members and the general public.
