Coding Girls Challenge in Monterotondo
Yesterday, the Liceo G. Peano in Monterotondo, in the Province of Rome, held the first CyberSHEcurity Challenge organised by the Fondazione Mondo Digitale and Microsoft. Forty young women worked to develop prevention and defence strategies for a business. The event is promoted as part of the Ambizione Italia for Cybersecurity project.
The young protagonists learn to deal with hot topics, such as privacy and data security, and they do so not only from a personal, but also professional point of view. In fact, the objective is to help girls seize the numerous career opportunities available in the cybersecurity sector. While this sector is rapidly expanding, only 25% of employees are women.
