Gain powerful insights on diversity, leadership, and cybersecurity with this new episode of Cybersecurity shall be C-level priority!

In this edition, host Nico Freitag welcomes Julia Hermann, CISO at infodas, for a deep-dive conversation about female empowerment in cybersecurity. Julia shares her journey from being the only woman in technical teams to becoming a leader and advocate for change in the industry.

You’ll hear about the real challenges women face, how mentoring and networks can shift the dynamic, and why empathy and diversity are core strengths—not soft skills—in high-pressure cyber environments.

Topics covered:

🔹 What female empowerment really means in a technical field like cybersecurity

🔹 How networks like She@ISACA are creating safe spaces, mentorships, and lasting change

🔹 Why women often downplay their skills—and how we can shift that mindset

🔹 The impact of diverse, international teams on innovation and problem-solving

🔹 How organizations can move from performative action to real inclusion

🔹 Julia’s experience with gender pay gaps, stereotypes, and breaking the glass ceiling

Julia also reflects on her broader journey—from early days at Deutsche Telekom to building internal support structures in global companies. She emphasizes how real empowerment goes beyond gender—it’s about creating space for anyone who needs a role model or a voice.
