‘For the Sake of Our Futures - Why diversity is becoming increasingly important in cybersecurity - PART ONE’ with Sailakshmi Santhanakrishnan

In this episode, the first part of our two part discussion, Sai and I talk about her career journey and about how she gives back to the community in terms of educating young people in cyber safety but also about jobs in STEM. We share a passion for both of these topics, so this is one not to be missed! Sailakshmi Santhanakrishnan: a passionate advocate at the crossroads of cybersecurity, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles, and Al ethics. Her mission is deeply personal - to blend sustainability with innovation and shape a digital world that's secure and welcoming for everyone. As a board member of Empowering Women as Leaders (EWL) and the proud co-founder of Welnspire.Guru, a mentorship platform for the next generation, her work extends beyond simple advocacy. She is dedicated to enriching the tech landscape by promoting ethical technology use and empowering women and the next generation with the tools they need to succeed. Her book, "The CISO Mentor: Pragmatic Advice for Emerging Risk Management Leaders," is a reflection of her commitment to guiding emerging leaders through the complexities of cybersecurity with a focus on ethical leadership and strategic foresight.
