CIO Africa reports that in Hollywood films, cultural depictions of cybercriminals and the cybersecurity experts who protect against their attacks tend to exclude women.

In this episode, host Paul John Spaulding is joined by Steve Morgan, Founder of Cybersecurity Ventures and Editor-in-Chief at Cybercrime Magazine, to discuss.
