Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security – Forum 2025

This unique event, specifically designed for female InfoSec professionals, is an extension of Empowering You’s award winning “Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security” leadership development initiative. Launched in 2021 as a cross-sector partnership with government and industry to try and address the lack of gender diversity in leadership within the sector, our alumni network now includes nearly 500 empowered and empowering female InfoSec professionals across the UK.

Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security – Forum 2025 fuses agenda setting discussions on some of the key technological developments and challenges in the sector, presented by some of the leading InfoSec experts from across Scotland and the UK, alongside inspiring and immersive leadership development workshops, led by our expert facilitators. These leadership masterclasses will be built around some of the most pressing challenges facing leaders as they develop and grow into the role, as well as the most common themes for development that we hear from our work with hundreds of female technology professionals across the country every year.

Most importantly, Forum 2025 provides an invaluable, supportive and empowering environment to deepen your industry knowledge, develop your leadership capabilities, create valuable new connections and, ultimately, realise your potential.
