Female and Male Cybersecurity Pros Have More in Common Than Not
Female and male cybersecurity professionals share the same workplace values, priorities and aspirations. Both place about the same level of importance on matters such as salary and working close to home – and both apply roughly the same skills to their work and view protecting people and data as their primary function, according to recent (ISC)2 research.
In a survey of 250 cybersecurity professionals, (ISC)2 also discovered the number of men and women looking for new employment is exactly the same: 85 percent of cybersecurity workers are open to new employment opportunities, including 14 percent who are actively looking for a new job. Despite these mirror-image figures, women expressed a higher degree of satisfaction with their current employment.
