Background

The IAEA Division of Nuclear Security established the Women in Nuclear Security Initiative (WINSI) in March 2021, with the mission to support the achievement of gender equality in nuclear security both within the IAEA’s Division of Nuclear Security and the global community of practice. The aim is to promote and strengthen the involvement of women in nuclear security and related fields worldwide as well as to enhance the attractiveness of nuclear security jobs and careers to women, especially for the next generation. To support this initiative, WINSI organized and hosted its first webinar “The Role of the IAEA in Strengthening Capacity of Women in Nuclear Security Worldwide,” in May 2021.

This webinar, “Women in Information and Computer Security in the Nuclear World” follows on from the inaugural webinar and puts a spotlight on an important and emerging area of nuclear security — namely information and computer security.

Objectives

The objectives of the webinar are:

• To provide an overview of the IAEA’s programme in information and computer security for nuclear security;
• To learn from experts involved in information and computer security about their roles and backgrounds in the area of nuclear security, as well as their experiences throughout their careers;
• To highlight challenges women in nuclear security face, particularly relating to information and computer security, and discuss ideas on how to overcome them;
• To discuss career opportunities in nuclear security for women in information and computer security.
