Abstract

The world is a complex array of human actions within an individual's sphere of influence and within a more global context. In either case, human actions can be susceptible to privacy and cyber security concerns. The consequences of targeted attacks on strategic cyber-systems, inclusive of nuclear power plants, electrical grids, water systems, would be quite high were they to actually materialize. Security gaps must be assessed and efficiently managed, and a viable workforce must be trained and vetted to take on this security effort. Therefore, with the intersection of human resources and women, who would be capable of training and going beyond the male cyber world realm? Women employment power may be the answer to filling the critical needs of the individual and larger entities that may be in need of cyber protection. This is explored in this chapter.
