Who is Jane Frankland?
Jane Frankland is an influential British innovation strategist, entrepreneur, author, and thought leader, recognized worldwide for her outstanding career in cybersecurity and her commitment to gender diversity in the tech industry. Her career is a success story that took her from building an ethical hacking company to becoming one of the most prominent voices advocating for a more inclusive workforce. She is considered one of the most important thought leaders in cybersecurity globally.
Her early education, which was unusual for the industry, was in art and design. However, her entrepreneurial spirit and ambition led her to co-found a cybersecurity consulting firm in the late 1990s, specializing in ethical hacking and penetration testing. The company quickly achieved seven-figure revenue, establishing her as a pioneer in the field of information security. Her experience in the private and corporate sectors includes leadership roles at major insurance companies, where she led international operations.
Jane Frankland’s most notable achievement is her advocacy for diversity. She is the founder of the IN Security Movement and the author of the bestseller *InSecurity: Why a Failure to Attract and Retain Women in Cybersecurity is Making Us All Less Safe*. In her book, she argues that the lack of women in decision-making roles in cybersecurity increases the risk for everyone, as women approach and manage risk in a fundamentally different way. Her work focuses on making women the norm in cybersecurity, not the exception.
As a speaker, Frankland is in high demand, working with governments and companies to drive inclusive innovation. In recognition of her work as an agent of change and her commitment to women in cybersecurity, she was awarded the distinction of Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by His Majesty the King. Her legacy is measured by her ability to inspire women to forge their own paths in technology and by her valuable contribution to a more secure, resilient, and equitable cybersecurity industry.
