Speaking on behalf of NCSA, Ms. Rosemary Butare outlined the institution’s capacity development initiatives aimed at increasing women’s participation in cybersecurity. She highlighted the Cyberhub, one of NCSA’s flagship programs, which targets a minimum of 30% female participation among trainees, as well as ongoing awareness initiatives—particularly in schools—designed to encourage both girls and boys to explore opportunities within the cybersecurity field.

She further emphasized the need to address barriers to entry and retention, including the importance of more realistic certification and experience requirements, as well as the development of workplace policies that foster supportive and inclusive environments for women in cybersecurity.
