Diverse Learning Community: Non-Traditional Career Paths for Women

Salon F1

This session will examine non-traditional cybersecurity career paths for women. Much of the discussion about opportunities in cybersecurity has focused on Information Technology and related fields. In addition, when people think of the Federal Government’s cybersecurity role, they often focus on the critical work of those agencies that are directly responsible for the defending our nation. Other Federal departments and agencies, however, are playing an increasingly important cybersecurity role. In addition, state and local governments as well as private sector stakeholders are finding that an effective cyber response requires expertise in areas in addition to their IT departments. This session will discuss different perspectives on the important role federal agencies outside of the U.S. national security community play in keeping our nation safe, the cyber-related role and challenges faces by telecommunications service providers and public safety organizations and the interdisciplinary skills needed for success.

Lisa Fowlkes, Deputy Chief, FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau
