Women in IT Security

Whether in communication, health, or mobility: IT security plays an important role in all socially relevant areas. The continuous linking of the digital and physical worlds is constantly presenting new challenges and questions. Innovative solutions and ideas are needed! Curiosity, openness, creativity, and the ability to shift perspectives are therefore essential skills for a career in IT security.

The career opportunities are as diverse as the challenges. With our series Women in IT Security, we aim to highlight the variety of paths and opportunities in IT security – especially for women – and introduce exciting women with different research focuses who work here at Ruhr University Bochum (RUB) and our partner institutes.
