The panel discussion will focus on raising awareness about the importance of cyber security as a career choice for young women in particular. The discussion will stress the importance of doing better marketing of selling jobs to young women but also more importantly, that a great number of cybersecurity jobs require more interpersonal skills than technical ones.
