We wish to recognize and celebrate the achievements of women through the FAST Award. Currently, women make up only 10-25% of the security and technology workforce. Through an increase in diversity and further inclusion, we hope more women will enter these fields and retention rates will increase. In Canada, research shows 50% of women drop out of technology fields within the first four years of their careers.
Selection of the FAST Award will be based on the following criteria. Recipients will have demonstrated excellence in one of the five categories below.
Your contributions are evident by your advocacy and support for other women and marginalized groups across the industry. Through mentoring, coaching or by helping others succeed.
Demonstrated leadership by taking bold strides to advance within the industry despite roadblocks and challenges.
You have enrolled in a recognized cybersecurity program, received a certification or recently graduated from a recognized cybersecurity program through a recognized online cybersecurity training provider. This includes training from our digital learning platforms.
You have continued to pursue your dreams and career goals with upmost dedication by using every opportunity to advance your career or that of others.

We've create a 'Male Ally' category. This award will be presented to a man who has demonstrated unwavering support and advocacy for women within the industry. He can be a teacher, mentor, co-worker, industry professional or anyone you feel qualifies for this award. Male allies are integral to building a diverse and inclusive workforce and community.
