Who We Are
Our Mission and Vision
International Women in Cyber Day (IWCD), also known as Women in Cyber Day was founded by cybersecurity veteran, Lisa Kearney who recognized the need for an international initiative dedicated to advancing women in cybersecurity and celebrating their achievements for a more diverse and inclusive industry.
Our History and Achievement
International Women in Cyber Day started in 2018 to celebrate and recognize the contributions of women in cybersecurity. What began as a single event in September 2019 in Vancouver, BC, Canada that has evolved into global celebrations that highlights female achievements, promotes diversity, and inspires future leaders.
Key milestones include receiving official proclamations from nine out of ten provinces, hosting impactful events, scholarships, awards and partnering with major organizations to advance gender equality.
