Be a better ally.
The core message of the provided session segment is that being a better ally in cybersecurity starts with recognizing how persistent assumptions, sexism, harassment, and exclusion push women out of the field, even when they are skilled, experienced, and interested in staying. After a brief introduction praising Chantal and Nancy for their work supporting women in cybersecurity, the presenters set clear boundaries: the talk would cover sexual harassment, inappropriate behavior, misogyny, and violence against women, with aftercare available afterward. They also clarified that, for this talk, they would discuss experiences through the lens of two genders, while acknowledging that gender is broader and that other forms of injustice and victimization exist.
