Few CAF/DND members in the NCR currently work in the cyber field, but this budding domain has implications on everyone throughout DND/CAF. The rapidly growing cyber workforce has an urgent requirement for diversity, and consequently exciting opportunities for women with an interest in any aspect of the cyber field (planning, policy, law, HR, etc.).
