✨ Women in Technology Spotlight - Cynthia Kithome ✨ Today, I'm featuring cynthia kithome from our Women In Technology (WIT) Single Mother's Program. Cynthia is looking for her next opportunity and if you're hiring for your team, please reach out to her or let me know and I'll connect you! Hear more from Cynthia in her own words: ➡️ Briefly describe your most significant career achievement. During my time at Cisco, I played a pivotal role in enhancing organizational resilience by leading the development and implementation of Business Continuity Plans (BCP) across 10 IT teams. By identifying critical risks and streamlining processes, I not only improved efficiency but also ensured the organization was prepared to respond effectively to potential disruptions. This initiative strengthened Cisco’s risk management framework and operational stability. ➡️ What areas of technology are you most passionate about? I am most passionate about cybersecurity, particularly in risk management and vulnerability assessment. I find it incredibly fulfilling to identify potential threats and implement proactive solutions that protect critical assets and ensure organizational resilience. Additionally, I am deeply interested in the evolving role of IoT/OT security and how it intersects with operational technology to safeguard increasingly interconnected systems. Beyond cybersecurity, I am enthusiastic about leveraging data analytics to drive informed decision-making and improve processes. Using data-driven insights to enhance security measures and operational efficiency is an area where I see significant potential for impact. ➡️ What roles or job titles are you currently seeking? I am currently seeking roles in cybersecurity and risk management, such as Cybersecurity Analyst, Risk Analyst, Vulnerability Management Specialist, or IoT/OT Security Specialist. Additionally, I am interested in positions like Customer Success Specialist or Executive Assistant in tech-related fields, where I can combine my technical knowledge with my organizational and communication skills to drive meaningful outcomes. ➡️ How do you contribute to promoting diversity and inclusion in tech? I support initiatives that create opportunities for underrepresented groups. I believe diverse teams lead to better innovation and problem-solving, and I strive to foster an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and heard. For example, I’ve mentored young professionals and students from diverse backgrounds, guiding them in exploring tech careers and building their skills. I also advocate for equitable hiring practices and encourage open dialogue about inclusion within teams and organizations. ➡️ Is there a fun fact about yourself that you’d like to share? I absolutely love solving puzzles—whether it’s a tricky cybersecurity challenge or a weekend jigsaw. The thrill of piecing things together and finding solutions keeps me motivated, both in and out of work!
