“Women and minorities not only bring diversity of thought to conversations and decisions, we bring our varied experiences, both good and bad, to the table. This provides a more fair and equitable distribution of power and influence in technology, removing the bias that we have seen in the space.” - Mari Galloway, CEO and Founding Board Member at Women’s Society of Cyberjutsu (WSC)

“Today’s security leaders and next-generation cybersecurity professionals will be inspired by these personal stories of resilience working in challenging environments and driving industry changes to support innovation. These pages are filled with practical guidance on how to succeed in security leadership roles and adapt security management practices as technology rapidly changes.” - Alya Franklin, Co-Founder at Women in Security and Privacy (WISP) and Co-Founder and Partner, Aleada Consulting

“Don't put this book down. You will be taken through both the history and the author's own lives with examples of the issues in the security industry, and how they overcame these issues. You'll learn how you can help increase diversity. Increasing diversity isn't just about being equitable, it's about embracing a breadth of people's different approach problems and what diverse knowledge they have. That combination can make your security team scarily effective.” - Nicole Schwartz, COO and Board Chair at The Diana Initiative

"The cybersecurity industry is three years behind in its skilled workforce demand, and yet women still only comprise a small percentage of the workforce. The unique perspective of women in the cybersecurity community provides key insights to a more modern approach to talent, the industry's number one problem, and how we can change that immediately." - Didi Dayton, Partner at Wing Venture Capital
