IntoSecurity Chats, Episode 12 - Jan Carrol, Brought to you By Tufin
Teacher, entrepreneur and woman in tech, Jan Carrol talks to us about her journey into cybersecurity, her view of the cyber-security skills gap and how she took the leap of faith to set up her own company, the Fortify Institute. Jan’s work includes rolling out initiatives to up-skill jobseekers, delivering diplomas in cybersecurity and is passionate about getting more women back into the workplace after they have taken a break. As someone who is not able to say no, Jan is involved in a number of community groups including Cyber Women Ireland which aims to increase the participation of women in cyber and focus on how to maintain retention. She is also involved in the National Cyber Taskforce in Ireland that is working on creating resources for frontline workers to help in cases of technology-facilitated domestic abuse (also known as stalker-ware).
