# Women in Cybersecurity Face Continued Pay Disparities

**[Security Boulevard](https://daily.dev/sources/securityboulevard)** · 4 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Women in cybersecurity face pay disparities compared to their male counterparts across different positions. The gender pay gap narrows among directors and middle managers, but widens for non-managerial and managerial roles. Unconscious bias, negotiation patterns, and the 'motherhood penalty' contribute to pay inequality.

Early encouragement and mentorship programs for women in cybersecurity are crucial. Women in leadership positions can promote career advancement and fair compensation. Organizations should set specific targets to promote diversity and inclusion.
