Take a moment to imagine a world with gender equality. No bias, no stereotypes, no discrimination. This year’s International Women’s Day focuses on encouraging people to overcome gender biases towards women. We are trying to eliminate gender bias by showing our support and encouraging diversity. We’re very fortunate that our team here at Axenic is made up of a number of passionate and experienced women who are all outstanding professionals in their field. In support and recognition of International Women’s Day this year, we would like to take the opportunity to introduce you to them.

As an organisation, Axenic supports and encourages diversity within the workplace. Creating an environment where women feel valued is important to us. We are very fortunate to have a workplace where our employees can be themselves and participate in every business process. Recent research shows that 25% of cybersecurity workers are women. It’s imperative that we get the message out that women are wanted, respected, and valued in the ever-present fight against cybercrime.
We are always on the lookout for awesome people to continue our track record of diversity in the workplace and would love to hear from you.
