Abstract

The cybersecurity workforce is male-dominated, where females only make 11% of the cybersecurity workforce. There is, therefore, a need to encourage females to enter cybersecurity to promote a diverse and multiskilled workforce. The research aimed at promoting this by testing the hypothesis that increasing the visibility of female cybersecurity roles models would inspire young females to consider careers in cybersecurity, subsequently, the research also aimed to identify the requirements for a platform that will provide single-point access to the role model’s career stories and related motivational features.
