A meeting was held at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow to inaugurate the initiative of Women4Cyber – the Polish branch of a leading European foundation supporting women’s participation in the cyber security sector.

Women4Cyber Poland is a branch of the international Women4Cyber initiative founded by the European Cyber Security Organisation, which aims to increase the number of women in the cyber security industry by supporting, inspiring and educating. 

Izabela Albrycht, director of the Cyber Security Centre at AGH University of Science and Technology, who co-founded the European initiative and has now spearheaded the establishment of the Polish branch, emphasised that the initiative aims to create a community of cyber security experts, practitioners and enthusiasts in Poland who are committed to promoting equal opportunities in this important field of knowledge, economy, innovation and security. 

During the event, the organisers presented the goals and plans of the Women4Cyber Poland initiative and discussed issues related to the current labour market situation in the cyber security industry.
