Celebrating its 5th year anniversary, this grand event aims to honor and recognize the outstanding achievements of women in the cybersecurity industry. The CSWY awards have become a symbol of inspiration and empowerment, acknowledging the remarkable contributions of women who have shattered barriers and set new standards in the cybersecurity domain.

The Cybersecurity Woman of the Year Awards continues to grow in prominence and impact with each passing year.

Joining Carmen Marsh enthusiasm are other industry leaders and sponsors of the Awards GALA 2023:
“You can’t be what you can’t see – which is why is it critical that girls and young women see moms, sisters, and friends working as researchers, analysts, and executives. Events like CSWY offer a glimpse into a possible future,” said Betsy Soehren Jones, Chief Operating Officer at Fortress Information Security. “Demonstrating that women are cybersecurity superheroes, protecting organizations and developing defenses to keep us all safe, will attract others into the field, growing the pipeline of available talent. We have to start winning hearts and minds at a young age. Carmen is helping all of us connect with women from 9 to 5 who want to protect people and keep us all safe from cyber threats.”

"Today we are living in one of the most consequential eras for technological innovation. But it’s going to take a diverse field working together so that the technologies developed reflect all, include all, and benefit all. The advancement of women in cybersecurity is absolutely critical to this pursuit and to building a safer world for everyone." - Vasu Jakkal, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Security Business.

"The CSWY Gala is pure energy and excitement. This is an amazing opportunity for women in cyber to showcase their talents and to be recognized. There is a strong sense of sisterhood that is compounded with a sense of pride and joy for all those in the room. You leave this event energized for months!" - Susan Posey, Vice President, Digital, Operations, and Technology Learning.

"Each year the Awards Gala gives us an opportunity to celebrate the heroes in cybersecurity who are both raising the bar and breaking down barriers. We're exceptionally proud to participate in this celebration." - Karl Mattson, Chief Information Security Officer, Noname Security.

"We are proud to support this event. Women make up 57% of the workforce but a recent report estimates they are just 33% of tech workers. At ACI Learning, we are working hard to provide training that will help more women build a career in IT. Organizations around the world need more skilled women to drive technology innovation and positive change, and so we are proud to help shine the spotlight they so deserve. I hope it inspires other women who are watching, dreaming, and learning." - Brett Shively, CEO, ACI Learning.
