NCC Group Joins Forces with Empowering You to Create Robust Communities of Female Cyber Security Leaders

We are thrilled to continue our collaboration with Empowering You, a distinctive cross-sector initiative in the United Kingdom. Supported by industry and government, this initiative aims to foster communities of diverse and authentic female leaders in digital and cyber security through its Empowering Women to Lead cyber security programme.

The programme invites women across the country to apply to participate in a free three-month course, which is designed to enable the transition of aspirational and early to mid-career professionals, team leaders, and managers into more confident, capable, and energised leaders.

Rebecca Fox, CIO at NCC Group, comments,

"It's fantastic to be championing this important cause and sponsoring this programme for the fourth time. Our purpose is to create a more secure digital future. To achieve this, it's essential that we cultivate a diverse talent pool of genuine, empowered female leaders who can contribute significantly to our purpose in the most impactful manner.

"It's wonderful to see organisations like Empowering You recognising the importance of fostering diverse leadership and empowering women. Initiatives like these play a crucial role in shaping the future of our digital landscape."

Chris Woodcock, Director at Empowering You, said,

"Through our partnership with NCC Group, we aim to foster knowledge sharing, mentorship, and empowerment within the field of cyber security. By supporting and amplifying the voices of women in this industry, together we strive to drive positive change and enhance diversity and inclusion, creating a collaborative and influential community of female leaders in cyber security and InfoSec roles across all industry sectors."

Valentina Ivanova, Junior Threat Intel Consultant at NCC Group and participant in the Northern England Empowering Women to Lead Spring 2024 programme, added,

"I'm thrilled to announce my participation in the upcoming Empowering Women to Lead Cyber Security Spring 2024 cohort in Northern England. What immediately captivated me about this programme was the chance to deepen my self-awareness and bolster my existing skillset.

I aspire to ignite a passion for the industry in other women, aligning with my core goal as a woman in the field of Cyber. Additionally, I eagerly anticipate connecting with the remarkable women in my cohort. Through sharing experiences and learning from one another, we can collectively empower and uplift each other."
