Women are often the silent driving forces behind great things happening, in cybersecurity this is no different. For its next Women in Cybersecurity meetup, CyberWayFinder would like to put the spotlight on those women sacrificing their time, energy and patience and listen to their motivations and drive to help strengthen the internet. 

We will have a panel discussion with a few warriors for the good cause, followed by some networking with other women in cybersecurity.
