Ping Identity – International Women’s Day

Lisa Occleshaw, Sales Director UKI at Ping Identity discusses International Women’s Day

International Women’s Day is a reminder of the work that still needs to be done to #breakthebias; the tech industry, in particular, remains heavily male-dominated with only 16% female representation in the UK. Companies need to invest in not only hiring but training and retaining female talent. What’s more, it’s vital that technology companies complete an internal audit and uncover areas where they can improve gender equality and introduce specific initiatives that encourage younger female professionals to enter cybersecurity.

At Ping Identity, we recognise both the benefits and importance of promoting a diverse workplace and have made sure our recruitment process in Europe reflects these values. Our ‘Ping4Good’ programme focuses on girls in STEM and provides them with the tools to help them succeed in their careers. However, while we recognise our steps internally towards creating an equitable workforce are crucial, we are also aware of the hurdles that must be overcome in the workplace and wider industry.

We must all advocate transparent conversations that help close the gender pay gap for good, get rid of any stereotypes that exist and support young female talent to become future role models. We should celebrate the successes of those in the cybersecurity industry and hold those who stop the progress of equality accountable.
