Northport, N.Y. – Oct. 26, 2018
Cybercrime Magazine is compiling the world’s largest list of women in the cybersecurity field. The tally was up to 1,222 last week — and we’ve got another 54 this week, for a total of 1,276 to date.
Before we get to this week’s list, we’d like to give a shout-out to an extremely talented woman in cyber, Kim Hakim, and her new company, FutureCon, producer of 24 Next Generation Cybersecurity Conferences in North America during 2019. Cybercrime Magazine will be at the first event in Atlanta on Jan. 16 … and you should be there too!
Now, for the new names you’ve been waiting for…

SEARCHABLE DIRECTORY
Do women make up only 11 percent of the cybersecurity workforce? Or, is the figure closer to 20 percent?
Cybercrime Magazine believes the number is so big that we’ll need a database to handle the chore. We’ll be back shortly with a powerful searchable directory of women in the cybersecurity field. Our weekly articles with the names of women in cyber will continue to be unstructured and make for a fun read – the database will bring structure and make it easy to search for names by keywords and phrases.
SEND US YOUR NAMES
While Twitter is hardly the only source to research names, our team has concluded it’s the best for this project. We may certainly expand the format, but for now a project of this sort is a huge undertaking and we need to stay focused.
We will be crowdsourcing names as part of our research and compilation. Do you want to participate? Get in touch with us here and we’ll explain how you can contribute names to the world’s largest list of women in the cybersecurity field.
Many of you sent us names earlier this week. We are grateful for your contribution – and our team is processing them.
