Microsoft On Women In Cybersecurity At Black Hat Europe 2025 In London
This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Dec. 24, 2025
Cybercrime Magazine met with Alex Zoldova, Board Member, Women In Cybersecurity at Microsoft when we were at Black Hat Europe 2025 in London.
Zoldova spoke with us about the state of women in cybersecurity today, as well as the value of mentoring, the imperative to increase STEM education opportunities for young people, and more.
“It’s a challenge to be a woman in cybersecurity; we’re not many,” says Zoldova. “I think that the big value would be if everyone can do just a little bit to help each other. Maybe you can volunteer, maybe you can encourage your female colleague to go speak in an event because she’s a bit shy, or maybe you can mentor some other women. I think it would be amazing if we can all support each other and work in a more collaborative environment to help each other grow and succeed.”
Zoldova spoke about two people she met at Black Hat Europe. “Today at the event I met a very young and impressive girl aged 25 and I also met a male, 24, and I think it’s beautiful to see people at a very young age coming into cybersecurity as their first job.”
