As a former librarian, Cynthia Hetherington entered the security profession in the 1990’s when most, if not all, security role models were men. She had to learn quickly, often on her feet, that she had the same skills they possessed, and sometimes even more finely-honed skills. Her early and challenging experiences are the foundation of her deep commitment to help more women enter the IT and security industries.
Here, she shares with the Women in STEM Club her experiences as a woman working in the male-dominated cyber security industry. The importance of role models, how to “Try and Grasp” everything that piques your interest, how to feel comfortable interacting with the public, and how to use imposter syndrome to your advantage are among the many topics she addresses.
