The Australian Women in Security Network (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 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. We support, inspire, and act 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.

We believe that defending, protecting, and educating all types of companies, Small-Medium Enterprises, Not-for-Profit organisations, education institutions, and all Australians requires different minds and types of people.
