Australian Women in Security Network

The Australian Women in Security Network (AWSN) is a not-for-profit association and network of people aimed at educating women and girls on security and increasing the number of women in the security community.

The AWSN started in 2015 to connect women, who were often feeling isolated in organisations and in tertiary education institutions, with like-minded individuals.

Women and those who identify themselves as female make up half our population, however, the number of women working in security in Australia is low (with women in cybersecurity making up only 17%).

The AWSN supports, inspires, and acts as role models. We connect women in the industry and those looking to enter the field with the tools, knowledge, network, and platforms needed to build confidence and interest. We know the diversity of threats requires diversity of thought on how to address them, and this is where our network thrives.

More information is available on the Australian Women in Security Network website.
