Women in IAM – Empowering Women in Identity & Access Management
Women in IAM is a global initiative dedicated to empowering women in Identity & Access Management, Cybersecurity, and Digital Identity.
Our mission is to highlight inspiring journeys, support career growth, and build a strong community where women can learn, connect, and lead.
This initiative brings interviews, events, resources, and community programs together to create a more inclusive and diverse IAM ecosystem.
Why Women in IAM Matters
The IAM industry continues to grow rapidly, yet women remain underrepresented.
This initiative aims to:
- Increase visibility of women leaders in cybersecurity
- Provide career-growth tools for women entering IAM
- Support diversity and inclusion in security teams
- Offer mentorship, networking, and real-world guidance
- Build a safe platform to share experiences and lessons
When women rise in IAM, the entire cybersecurity community becomes stronger.
