Closing the Gap: A DoD conference on Re-entry for Women Veterans into Cybersecurity Careers addresses the crucial need to fill the exponentially growing cybersecurity gap (whether it is a talent gap of skilled cybersecurity workers or a gap in the time between jobs in the military and the cyberworkforce), as well as to address the gender imbalance in the field.
The conference is specifically designed for researchers, educators and decision-makers from academia, government and industry, focusing on issues and practices for smoothing the reentry for women veterans into the workforce, specifically in cybersecurity careers. Women veterans are also encouraged to participate.
