In Arabian Business, BCG’s Leila Hoteit addresses the widening gender gap in the cybersecurity field. According to a BCG study, conducted in partnership with the Global Cybersecurity Forum, 94% of undergraduate women studying STEM disciplines in the Middle East would be interested in pursuing a degree in cybersecurity. However, the field remains at a deficit for talent, with 57% of organizations reporting unfilled cybersecurity positions. As cyber-threats continue to escalate, Hoteit urges employers and institutions to empower this key cohort of women to work in cybersecurity.
