Women in IT – Popcorn Training

SPONSORED: In the cyber security industry, knowledge and capability count for everything, irrespective of whether you are male or female.

20 August 2018

The gender gap in the cyber sector is real in terms of numbers, but it’s nothing to do with women being excluded or discriminated against. This is the view of Popcorn Training CEO and founder Anna Collard, whose 17 years in the information security field have shown her that it’s not about whether you are male or female, but how well you can solve the problem that gets the job done.

“The paucity of cyber security experts is by no means a South African problem, it’s global. The shortage not only makes finding good people really difficult, but there’s the challenge of trying not to lose them to organisations overseas,” says Collard.
