Introduction

Cybersecurity is a hot topic, and rightly so. Spain was positioned in 2022 as the third country worldwide in terms of cyberattacks. Cybercriminals and hackers have been busy and the trend continues. If you're thinking about starting your own cybersecurity company or joining an existing business as an entrepreneur, then this is great news for you: there are plenty of opportunities out there for cybersecurity startups that want to get involved in making things safer for everyone else on the Internet. One of those opportunities is the 2nd Edition of Women4Cyber Startup School organized by Women4Cyber Spain and Tetuan Valley. This 6-week program will help you launch your idea to the market and start growing with training from entrepreneurial experts, specialized mentoring and a great community.

It is an exciting time for cybersecurity.

Cybersecurity is an exciting field. It's growing, it's hot, and it's big business. If you're looking for a career that offers you the opportunity to make a difference in the world, this may be the one for you.

In fact, cybersecurity is so important now that many people who don't even know how to program or code are getting jobs as "infosecurity" (a fancy way of saying "information security") professionals.

You don't have to be a security expert to start a cybersecurity company.

You don't have to be a security expert to start a cybersecurity company. You can hire experts who know the technical side and learn as you go. There will always be people who know more than you in a given area, and that's okay! That's why collaboration is so important: the more people working together on something, the better it tends to be.

And if all else fails (or even if it doesn't), there are many mistakes made by others in this field that can give us some ideas on how not to make them ourselves.

Cybersecurity is a sector with many opportunities.

Cybersecurity is a sector with many opportunities. It is a growing and increasingly diversified industry, which means more jobs.

Two alumni of the first edition of Women4Cyber Startup School are success stories in this regard:

• Lorena Ionescu, co-founder of Bytehide, a Cloud platform for the security and secure management of applications.

• Vitori Hernández, founder and CEO of Intrepit, an IT services company for SMEs that helps companies from a cybersecurity by design perspective.

Women are taking the reins of the cybersecurity industry and their ideas are making it safer for everyone.

Women are an important part of the cybersecurity industry. They are breaking barriers and making inroads in a traditionally male-dominated sector. Women bring a different perspective to cybersecurity, which can make it safer for everyone.

A great example is the brilliant work of the Women4Cyber Spain Association, the Spanish chapter of its European counterpart, which offers its members an impressive network of contacts, events and job and networking opportunities.

The cybersecurity sector is a great place for entrepreneurship and impact. It's an exciting time for the industry and there are many opportunities for women to get involved. If you want to turn your project idea into reality, or grow your cybersecurity startup, sign up for the II Edition of Women4Cyber Startup School before May 15 and benefit from a unique opportunity for training, mentoring and community.
