Semperis and Women in Cyber Security Unite for Groundbreaking Cyberwar Documentary

Semperis Teams Up with Women in Cyber Security

In a significant development in the realm of cybersecurity, Semperis, a leader in identity-driven cyber resilience, has officially named Women in Cyber Security (WiCyS) as an Action Partner for their forthcoming documentary, Midnight in the War Room. Slated for its global premiere on August 5 during the renowned Black Hat USA event in Las Vegas, this documentary provides a deep dive into the high-pressure world of cybersecurity, capturing personal narratives and the escalating threats that digital defenders face today.

The film portrays the intense realities that Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) and other cyber professionals encounter while protecting their organizations in an increasingly volatile digital landscape. By partnering with WiCyS, Semperis aims to emphasize the critical contributions of women in this field while promoting not just awareness but also recruitment and retention of diverse talent in cybersecurity.

Lynn Dohm, the Executive Director of WiCyS, expressed her excitement stating, “WiCyS is thrilled to be an Action Partner for Midnight in the War Room. Our mission is to uplift and advance women in cybersecurity, and this film will illuminate the incredible work being done by women and other defenders in this space. Through this powerful platform, we aim to inspire the next generation of defenders.”

Indeed, the stories outlined in the documentary highlight the unsung heroes working tirelessly to protect critical infrastructure. Midnight in the War Room is more than just an exposition on cyberwarfare; it represents a call to action that celebrates the collective efforts of those safeguarding our digital borders day in and day out.

Tom Leduc, Semperis’ CMO and Executive Producer of the documentary, added, “This partnership with WiCyS allows us to connect with a powerful global network of professionals who share our vision for the future of cyber security. With this documentary, we are not just showcasing stories; we are sparking a movement to recognize and honor those who defend our digital landscape. Every effort in cybersecurity matters, as the front lines are everywhere and never truly rest.”

As the countdown to the premiere begins, Semperis and WiCyS plan to co-host previews and private screenings intended to raise community awareness and champion cyber resilience. Specific details regarding the schedule for these events will be finalized and communicated soon.

In addition to WiCyS, Semperis has secured partnerships with several other prominent organizations to amplify their message, including the CyberRisk Alliance, Cyber Future Foundation, and Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology, among others. These partnerships emphasize the collective effort required to tackle the ongoing challenges in cybersecurity and the need for a concerted response to threats.

Founded by Dr. Ambareen Siraj in 2013 with the support of a National Science Foundation grant, WiCyS has grown into a vital nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering opportunities for women in cybersecurity. Through training, events, and resources, the organization aims to make strides toward a more equitable and inclusive cyber workforce.

As a leader in cyber resilience, Semperis supports not just organizations but also the broader cybersecurity community through initiatives like the Hybrid Identity Protection (HIP) Conference and various free tools designed to mitigate identity-based cyber threats. Their dedication to creating a safer cyberspace is evident in their partnerships and ongoing efforts.

With cybersecurity concerns becoming more pressing than ever, the collaboration between Semperis and WiCyS draws necessary attention to the importance of diversity in the field and the stories waiting to be told. The documentary not only serves as a critical reflection of current challenges but also as a beacon of hope for those interested in joining the fight against cybercrime.
