Meet Stephanie Benoit-Kurtz, lead of cybersecurity faculty at the University of Phoenix – Las Vegas. She is also director of cybersecurity for Station Casinos in Las Vegas. She has spent three decades in the IT industry, working for a variety of large and small organizations and as a consultant.
In the early days of her career, despite being part of the team responsible for implementing decisions at the IT company where she was employed,she “was routinely left out of the decision-making process. At that time, IT and data security were broadly viewed as the province of men,” she says.
