We're excited to continue to expand the series to reach even more participants and contribute to a better environment for women in the industry overall."

Presented by Secure Diversity and The Lookout Foundation, Day of Shecurity is a free-to-attend interactive conference that launched in 2017 at the Lookout headquarters in San Francisco for women in technology interested in cybersecurity. Day of Shecurity expanded to Boston and Toronto in 2019, and has now hosted multiple virtual conferences.
