We are delighted to announce that we have won the Women4Cyber Recognition Award! The award recognizes companies in the cybersecurity industry that have at least 30 percent female employees. With this award, we see our efforts to increase the proportion of women in cybersecurity strengthened!
At the Institute for Security and Safety, we believe in promoting gender diversity and supporting female participation as part of our daily business. We know that diverse teams generally perform better. Thus, with a high proportion of career changers and an exceptional proportion of women in the IT sector of almost 70 per cent (50 per cent of whom are mothers), we bring new perspectives to the field of cybersecurity and work in a highly innovative way.
Flexibility is a no-brainer for us. To us, it does not matter, if our team member works next to her sleeping toddler, if she must take a break to pick up her son from daycare, or if the average 9 to 5 simply doesn’t fit her schedule. We accommodate different lifestyles and never lose touch with one another, regardless of our presence in the common office (which, by the way, serves as our home base, as a common living room for all).
We want to see the standards and values we, as a team, live up to, reflected in our partners and customers as well. This is why we encourage people from many different educational and professional backgrounds to attend our training courses. Cybersecurity, in the end, is a team effort that simply cannot allow for not incorporating all members.
