Srushti (Women of Cybersecurity) Panel
Shrushti: Empowering Women in
Cyber Security
At this year’s CISO6 summit, we are excited to introduce Shrushti, a dedicated panel that shines a spotlight on the experiences, challenges, and successes of women in cybersecurity.
This panel brings together leading female CISOs and security professionals to engage in critical discussions about the unique issues they face, both as cybersecurity leaders and as women.
The Shrushti panel will cover a range of important topics, including:
- Gender disparity in the cybersecurity field and actionable steps to foster diversity and inclusion.
- The challenges of balancing the dual roles of being a CISO and a woman, address workplace dynamics, biases, and leadership pressures.
- Creating a culture of mentorship, support, and allyship to uplift the next generation of women in cybersecurity.
This panel is just the beginning of a broader movement. In 2025, Shrushti will evolve into a full-scale women empowerment summit aimed at further amplifying the voices of women in the cybersecurity field.
The Shrushti Summit will be a landmark event focused on celebrating the achievements of women in cybersecurity while also fostering discussions on breaking barriers, driving innovation, and advocating for greater equality within the industry.
With Shrushti, we are not only giving women in cybersecurity a platform but also building a community that champions collaboration, inclusion, and empowerment.
