Lisa Kearney

For more than two decades, Lisa has been working to secure data, systems and infrastructure for hundreds of companies around the globe.  In 2009, she started her own cybersecurity consulting corporation and often partnered with Canada’s top service providers.  Working with government and Fortune 500 organizations on multi-million-dollar contracts she gained invaluable insight across industries and security domains.  For the past 11 years, she volunteers as a Cyber Mentor and served on the board as VP for HTCIA and is a 13 year member.

Today, Lisa’s focus is on her new company, the Women CyberSecurity Society (WCSS) which is dedicated to helping women and girls interested in a cybersecurity career excel and thrive in this industry.  The Society was founded out of a need to fill the growing gender and skills gap within cybersecurity.   Recent research estimates over 3 million jobs will go unfilled by 2020 unless more is done to train and enhance the skills of our current cyber workforce.
