Hackeriot conference returns to Tel Aviv: lectures, workshops, and mentoring for women in cyber
The Hackeriot conference returns to Tel Aviv in a one-day intensive format. The event offers training and networking opportunities for women taking their first steps in the cyber security field.
The Hackeriot conference returns to Tel Aviv with lectures, workshops, and activities, providing excellent news for women in cyber in general, and for juniors in particular. This year, the event will take place in a new one-day intensive format, featuring a rich schedule and opportunities to learn and create professional connections.
The conference will be held on September 7 at Tel Aviv University (9:00-20:00), and participation is free of charge with prior registration. The flagship event of the Hackeriot organization is supported this year by leading cyber companies, including Cyera, Check Point, VEGA, EY, Numa, Clover, Island, Alice, Mind, Lasso, Guardio, Dream, Botanica, Token, and Reco.
Two professional tracks and a mentoring program
This year, two parallel tracks will be held: the first for women who want to get to know the world of cyber and are taking their first steps, and the second — an advanced track for community members looking to deepen their knowledge and develop their skills.
The event will be opened by Reut Weizman, Director of Cyber Resilience & Response at Check Point. She will present a professional and practical angle on the major challenges the industry is facing today.
In addition, the fifth cohort of Mentoriot will be revealed — the mentoring program of the Hackeriot organization, intended for women at the beginning of their journey or those transitioning into the field. The program connects participants with experienced mentors who offer personal guidance while working on an independent practical project.
The Hackeriot organization is volunteer-based and operates throughout the year in four branches across the country — Tel Aviv, Be'er Sheva, Haifa, and Jerusalem — holding meetups, technical workshops, and interview simulations.
"We have been accompanying Hackeriot for several years — a connection we are very proud of. Four of our employees came to us through this community. This is the best proof that when talented women are given a stage and a network that supports them, everyone wins," they say at Alice.
At Zafran Security, they add: "At Hackeriot, they understand that real female representation starts with removing the barriers that prevent women from reaching cyber in the first place."
Yotam Segev, co-founder and CEO of Cyera, concludes: "The power of the Israeli high-tech industry has always been in the exceptional talent that grows here, and I believe that its next generation needs to bring with it many more women to positions of influence and leadership."
