“I’m honored to be a finalist for these awards,” said Saryu. “I have always worked to carve out space for women in cybersecurity and am gratified to see recognition of these efforts – I hope seeing all the winners and finalists will inspire other young women to enter the field.”
Finalists were determined by the average scores of more than 200 business professionals around the world, working on seven juries.
