Today 8th March 2021 Silensec celebrates International Women’s Day by acknowledging and praising the invaluable contribution that women bring to cybersecurity industry.

International Women’s Day, though in existence for more than 100 years and annually celebrated with public holidays in many places, has only just begun to gather momentum worldwide. However, with women’s rights issues at the forefront of the media and public attention at the moment, we fully expect the day to become as culturally significant as any local public holiday.
