Wise WorkshopThe workshop for Women in Hardware and Systems Security (WISE) has 5 year’s history. It used to be co-located with top conferences in the security area. This is the first time that we move it to local, New Hampshire. The purpose of this workshop is to attract more women to join the field of cybersecurity with special emphasis on hardware and systems security (HSS) and provide a forum for the women in HSS to support each other. Considering the number of women entering the engineering profession is decreasing annually, it is critical to understand and encourage the young female students to choose engineering profession and participate in research activities. |
