What has cybersecurity got to do with this year’s London Marathon on Sun., Apr. 21, 2024?
VERDICT reports that very few of the runners will be like Georgia Bell. She has probably logged more training miles than many — but she is a runner with even higher goals: possibly going to the Olympic Games to run the women’s 1500 meters this summer, and at the same time, becoming a front runner and role model for women in cybersecurity.
What is most impressive about Bell is not just her running. It is that she finds the time to combine training at the highest level twice a day with a full-time job in cybersecurity at Abnormal Security. Bell previously held positions at Zscaler and DarkTrace.
Earlier this month, Bell took part in the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow, just missing out on a medal and finishing fourth.
Bell’s story makes her a role model not only for women runners, but also for women in IT, and especially in cybersecurity. Women only make up a quarter of the cyber workforce, and there are constant efforts to increase that percentage. It is growing, but still far too slowly.
Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that women will represent 30 percent of the global cybersecurity workforce by 2025, growing to 35 percent by 2031.
