How did you get into cybersecurity?
I’ve worked in software my entire career. Cyber security was a natural progression that started with Sourcefire then on to Cisco after the acquisition and now here at ThreatQuotient.

What are your hopes for women in cybersecurity in the future?
That more women will pursue this field. We need more diversity, especially at the Executive levels and a voice in every aspect of the company.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #ChooseToChallenge. How will you help forge a gender-equal world?
By inspiring the younger generation to look beyond the stereotype roles for women. Challenge yourself to pursue areas that might be outside of your comfort zone.
