A group of over 90 women working in cybersecurity roles have formed The Forte Group, a non-profit organization for the education and advocacy of women in the cybersecurity industry.
The voluntary group is headquartered in California but is offering a global membership. The group was formed informally earlier during the pandemic. Members would meet once a month to share their experiences, and also use their collective voice as a means for change.
“Over time, we have seen the collective power of this group. Officially forming a non-profit allows us to raise and deploy funds to further our mission. We’ve heard from companies and organizations who want to contribute to the work we are doing, and we felt like it was a missed opportunity without the structure in place to partner with these folks,” said Zenobia Godschalk, vice chair of the Forte Group.
