Women make up less than one-third of all STEM-related jobs. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security estimates there are at least 500,000 unfilled cybersecurity positions, which the agency deems a risk to national security. NIH's Jothi Dugar, NIST's Danielle Santos, and Okta's Michelle Tuggle from the Women Tech Leaders event discuss how they are encouraging and educating women to help fill the cybersecurity workforce gap and the gender STEM gap at the same time.
