This talk will apply a common SDLC model to career development: Planning, Threat Modeling, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance. Our peers can typically use this 5-step model throughout their careers with no roadblocks. However, women are often suffering in silence through 3 extra unspoken phases in our security development life cycle: gatekeeping, gaslighting, and grieving.
Also overlooked: Black women and sisters of color face unique barriers to career success. Diversity efforts are often not intersectional, network access controls are designed to keep us out, and our threat models are different from industry peers.
This keynote will use the SDLC model to bring these vulnerabilities to the forefront. The audience will leave empowered with strategies to help them excel despite the ugly phases of the career life cycle. The speaker will also talk openly about money, a conversation that is long overdue.
