Hacking into Security #32 - becoming a Champion for women in security, with Jacqui Loustau
In this episode, we catch up with Jacqui Loustau, the Founder of the AWSN (Australian Women in Security Network) and Principal Security Consultant for Cynch Security.
Jacqui gained excellent experience working overseas in security was planning to come back to Australia and had more difficulty than she expected in landing a job. We walk through Jacqui's story of getting into security, her challenges in landing a job, what got her to start what would become such an influential security community, the future for AWSN and how organisations can do more to attract a more diverse culture.
Knowing Jacqui over the years has given me some insight into the incredible demand in starting a security community. Impressively, Jacqui decided "to take 6 months and get it (AWSN) up and running properly!" and is now getting paid for her AWSN work.
