Lisa Ventura MBE and Cyber Security Unity Limited is pleased to announce the release of “The Rise of the Cyber Women: Volume Three” through new cyber security publisher Security Blend Books.
As a woman in the cyber security industry who had a non-linear journey into it, Lisa, who is based in Worcester in the UK, was inspired to compile volumes one and two in 2020 and 2021 respectively, as well as volume three, which is a collection of interviews from diverse women in cyber security industry to help give a voice to women in the industry and to act as an inspirational guide to women who might be thinking about taking their first steps into a career in cyber security but think they lack the skills or competencies to do so.
“The Rise of the Cyber Women: Volume Three” is a compilation of inspiring interviews from women in the cyber security industry from all over the world who are pioneers and leading the way in helping to protect the world from the growing cyber threat. Those who are included and featured in this book shared not only their stories but also their hints, tips and advice to women who are looking to pursue a career in cyber security or change their career path into cyber security. Their tenacity and commitment to their careers in the cyber security industry is very impressive.
Speaking of the release of the book, Lisa Ventura MBE said: “I entered the cyber security industry in 2009 having spent the first part of my career working in the entertainment industry working with Chris Tarrant, the host of “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” before Jeremy Clarkson took over. I knew that I wanted to stay in cyber security, but it soon became clear that I was a minority as a woman in the industry which was dominated predominantly by men. In 2019 I was at a talk at Infosec in London given by Professor Sue Black, and it was during this inspiring talk that I had the idea for “The Rise of the Cyber Women” book series. The interest in it was huge, so much so that I am already working on volume four to be released next year in line with International Women’s Day.
“I wanted to give a voice to women in cyber security globally and showcase their inspiring journeys into the industry in the hope that it helps and inspires other women to consider a career in the industry, but who may be put off because they think it is very male dominated and because they think they need a technical background to enter it. I was honoured that so many amazing women shared their stories with me for the book and hope it will be a valuable resource to women looking to enter the cyber security industry.”
James Bore CSyP of Security Blend Books said: “This is the latest instalment in the series as it continues to reach new heights in showcasing the achievements of women in the cyber security industry. It is well worth a read for guidance and inspiration!”
