Using Cybersecurity As A Tool To Empower Women

This research note analyzes the outcome of the 5Ws of Cybersecurity project that was funded by the U.S. Embassy Nairobi. A regression and cluster analysis was used to gauge the performance of the 517 training participants and determine if gender explains differences in aptitude. The analysis concludes that women are just as capable as men in the areas assessed during the training and therefore need more encouragement to study STEM subjects and pursue professions in technology sectors.
