Announcement posted by ISACA 04 Sep 2017
Government, Corporate Leaders to Discuss Capital Area’s Appeal for Women in Tech Fields at ISACA Cyber Security Conference
Sydney, Australia (4 September 2017) — Aiming to increase the participation and impact of women in technology leadership and workforce roles, ISACA will launch its SheLeadsTech™ advocacy and program initiatives at CSX 2017 North America, a Cybersecurity Nexus (CSX) conference being held in Washington DC, 2-4 October. In addition to this, SheLeadsTech will host networking, program and campaign events at additional ISACA and partner events through the remainder of 2017 and throughout 2018.
With support and guidance from the business technology professional community worldwide, ISACA has honed strategy and programming elements to focus on three areas—awareness-building, preparing women for leadership roles through training, and global alliances. Through participation, partnerships, increased presence and programming efforts, SheLeadsTech plans to drive change and to end gender inequality across the technology profession spectrum.
“With the ever-growing technology workforce gap, especially in information and cyber security, and from entry-level to senior executive ranks, the demand for talent, skilled, experienced professionals is critical and clear. Women cannot and should not be left behind,” said Jo Stewart-Rattray, CISA, CISM, CRISC, CISM, FACS CP, an ISACA Board Director and chair of the organisation’s Women’s Leadership Council.
“By engaging and supporting growth in the current and future ranks of women technology leaders, they not only will become embedded in every sector of the global tech economy, but will drive it to improved performance, emphasising innovation and the positive potential of technology,” Stewart-Rattray added.
Stewart-Rattray and Tara Wisniewski, ISACA Managing Director, Advocacy and Public Affairs, have long championed women in technology issues at the organisation. Other members of the Women’s Leadership Council include Abedin, as well as Gail Coury, CISA, CISM, CISO, Oracle Cloud, Tracey Lawrance, CRISC, head of GRC and Resilience, Airservices Australia; Sarah Orton, CISA IT audit director, AstraZeneca; and Shan Senanayake, CISA, information security manager, Ascendant Group Ltd.
