Two decades in cybersecurity – a male-dominated industry — has rewarded me with invaluable personal and professional experiences in life, from being the only female in a boardroom with military generals to having a husband working for a cybersecurity competitor.
At Palo Alto Networks, our numerous ENGs provide individuals working at all levels of the company an outlet where they can share concerns, seek advice or input, forge connections with like-minded people, strategize ways to support and grow our inclusion efforts, and learn from each other.
I began my career path by working for a local internet service provider as a network engineer.
During that time, I worked closely with other vendors on several projects to exchange expertise and best practices to improve and enhance our capacity and achieve best results.
I did not see many women in my field, though.
As time passed, I realized that my desired optimal career goal was to be and to work like those vendors.
Among those with whom I worked was a systems engineer from Palo Alto Networks.
