In a recent interview with Authority Magazine, Mariana Padilla, our CEO at the HACKERverse®, sat down with Authority Magazine to share her insights into cybersecurity’s dynamic and ever-changing landscape and women’s crucial role in shaping this industry. Check out Mariana Padilla’s five key tips for success in cybersecurity:
- Diverse Perspectives:
It’s critical to surround yourself as a business leader with people with diverse perspectives, which all women bring to the table regarding unique insights and problem-solving approaches to the cybersecurity field.
- Support and Encourage Others:
As mostly men heavily dominate the cybersecurity field, it’s crucial for women who’ve already come up through the ranks to support and encourage those who are younger and still making their way. This approach can be done in many ways, ranging from education, mentorship, and exposure to role models.
- Don’t Shy Away from Challenges:
Whatever business you might be in, it’s important to lean into the challenges that come your way and not shy away. We all can feel like our imposter syndromes take over, but it’s critical to advocate for a supportive environment that fosters growth and resilience.
- Develop Relationships:
In any industry, the benefits of networking and collaboration can’t be understated, and especially for women in cybersecurity, this is a key tool to share knowledge, experiences, and opportunities and ultimately help nurture a more inclusive and supportive community.
- Never Stop Learning:
Cybersecurity is a highly technical and dynamic field, which can be exciting and overwhelming at the same time. However, the biggest advantage here is that there’s always something new to learn and discover; there is never a dull moment. As the cybersecurity realm evolves and plays a pivotal role, the incredible women in this industry will continue to be critical in shaping how this industry looks in terms of advocating for diversity, empowerment, and collaboration to drive innovation and address evolving challenges.
