Description:
Particular objective, to represent the level of gender diversity in the field of cybersecurity in Ibero-American countries, collecting current data.
The survey will be designed to collect data on the representation of gender diversity at different levels within cybersecurity organizations in Ibero-American countries. Survey questions will focus on areas such as job functions, opportunities, capabilities, leadership positions, and organizational culture. The data analysis used descriptive statistics to summarize the answers and inferential statistics to test hypotheses and draw conclusions about the level of gender diversity in the field, the existence of support programs in STEM, inclusion, results, success stories, and usefulness, among others.
Research report: A comprehensive research report will be generated, summarizing the findings, insights, and recommendations from the session. This report will serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, organizations, and researchers interested in promoting gender diversity in cybersecurity.
Policy recommendations: Based on the discussions and insights shared during the session, a set of specific policy recommendations will be formulated. These recommendations will provide guidance on implementing strategies, programs, and initiatives to foster gender diversity in cybersecurity organizations. They will serve as actionable steps to drive positive change in the industry.
Hybrid Format: To create an engaging and inclusive session at the IGF, we will leverage the Official Online Participation Platform for seamless integration between onsite and online participants. Carina Birarda, the Online Moderator, will actively manage the chat, facilitating real-time communication between online and onsite attendees. The session aims to foster dynamic discussions by featuring presentations from cybersecurity experts and encouraging active participation from all attendees.

To enhance interaction, we will utilize Mentimeter as an online tool, conducting a word cloud exercise and survey in the final 30 minutes. The Online Moderator will maintain a round-robin approach, facilitating an exchange of questions and comments between onsite and online audiences. This structured format will enable meaningful discussions enriched by audience contributions, creating a valuable and interactive session.
