This week Monday wasn't just the first day of the work week or the first day of March. It was also the first day of Women's History Month. Though this year's theme is not related to cybersecurity, I want to draw attention to this month-long event that honors women's contributions in American history because our words and actions today have the power to influence history.
Think of where we might be without the contributions of women, in light of this year's theme "Valiant Women of the Vote: Refusing to Be Silenced", but also with respect to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). What would the world be like without the contributions of Edith Clarke, Grace Hopper, or Sally Ride?
