Empowering Women in Cybersecurity and STEM
ESET has always been dedicated to championing diversity, equity and inclusion, with initiatives and programs globally. Now, for the first time, we’re launching the ESET Cybersecurity Scholarship in Singapore—because we believe in unlocking opportunities for more women to lead in this dynamic field.
Singapore remains at the forefront of promoting gender diversity and inclusion in the tech industry within Southeast Asia, with 40% of women in technology a figure higher than the global average of under 30%. However, specific sectors in STEM, like cybersecurity, still face a gender imbalance, with women representing only 26.2% of professionals in the field. With transformative technologies like generative AI reshaping the industry, it's crucial to amplify diverse perspectives to ensure cybersecurity remains ethical, secure, and inclusive for all.
At ESET, we’re committed to bridging this gender gap by providing financial support to aspiring women in cybersecurity and STEM. Together, we can foster innovation, close the talent divide, and build a safer digital future. Are you ready to make an impact?
