New Women in Cyber Security at UNB Hosts Courses and Guest Lectures in 2025

The UNB Chapter of Women in Cyber Security (WiCyS), which began in October 2024, is continuing its efforts to encourage female representation in the cyber security industry by offering courses, guest lectures, and community to female identifying students. As part of the international WiCyS organization, the UNB chapter provides educational opportunities to gain certificates and experience to female identifying students at UNB that will make them more employable upon graduation. President Hwany Kim, and Vice President Ashley Smith, both recognized the underrepresentation of women in cyber security, both at university and in the work force. This new group hopes to encourage female identifying students to break into this male dominated field by focusing on both education and community.
