MemberWISC is providing the framework for open dialogue between women. Although culturally there might be differences, knowing someone is there that you can relate to from a gender POV is helpful and “a breath of fresh air”.
Taneisha Mitchell
MemberThis initiative is important because it will highlight the security field, while simultaneously encouraging and supporting women to be apart of it.
Kimberly Whyte
MemberI believe in the purpose of the WISC initiative to foster growth of women and girls within the Information Security. It is both timely and warranted and will improve the cyber security workforce gender gap.

VolunteerWomen are underrepresented in the industry and as such Women in Security is an excellent venture that will empower the Security industry in the Caribbean and help bring it to the forefront.
Rojaun Reid
VolunteerI'm convinced that, the Women In Information Security Caribbean initiative will undoubtedly help to create more opportunities for women and girls to be a part of the information security industry. Furthermore, it is a commitment to the Caribbean in supporting the fight against cyber-crime.
Kurtes Allen
