50x50: A Systems Approach to Gender Equity in Cybersecurity
50x50 is a cross-sector learning initiative that brings organizations together to change narratives and systems, expanding women's participation in cybersecurity to 50% by 2050.
Women's representation in cybersecurity has stalled at 20-25%, unchanged since 2019 amid fragmented approaches and narrow narratives about who belongs. 50x50 brings organizations together into a shared learning system that aligns goals, evidence, and action so new narratives emerge from real experience. The goal: 50% women in cybersecurity by 2050.
