Young Cyber Ambassadors Program in Montenegro: The First Generation of Women4Cyber Montenegro Ambassadors

We are proud to announce that, for the first time in Montenegro, the international Women4Cyber young cyber ambassadors program is being implemented, part of the European Women4Cyber Foundation network based in Brussels. This prestigious program aims to empower women in cybersecurity, promote gender equality, and develop the capacities of young women in Montenegro, preparing them to be leaders in this strategically important sector. Women4Cyber Montenegro, as part of this European initiative, proudly leads this mission in our country, opening doors for women who wish to contribute to a safer digital future. The results of this program will be presented at the annual W4C conference during the prestigious Cyber Week in The Hague, providing Montenegro a unique opportunity to stand out on the European cyber map.

Program Goals:

  • Inspiration through examples: Through their experiences, young ambassadors serve as role models and inspiration, guiding other women towards successful careers in cybersecurity. Their stories and achievements serve as motivation and an indicator of possibilities in this dynamic sector.

 

  • Community engagement: By connecting with the local community, engaging with students, and establishing links with decision-makers, young ambassadors contribute to spreading awareness of the importance of cybersecurity.

 

  • Social media campaign: Through an online campaign and content, the program contributes to spreading positive messages and information, promoting the inclusion of women in this key sector.

Aligned with the Women4Cyber mission, this program not only provides knowledge and skills but also enables young women to connect with leaders across Europe, adopting best practices and innovative approaches in cybersecurity.

Young cyber ambassadors are also active within the Cybersecurity Challenge Lab, an innovative educational project designed to simultaneously develop their capacities and professional skills in cybersecurity. This project, launched under the sponsorship of the Ulysseus Innovation Hub for Cybersecurity at the University of Montenegro - a strategic partner of Women4Cyber Montenegro - provides opportunities for hands-on learning and development through collaboration with industry and the public sector, assembling a team of practical experts.

We are proud to introduce the first generation of young cyber ambassadors of Montenegro:

  1. Ms Nina Perisic

  2. Ms Jovana Vukovic

  3. Darinka Bulatovic

This program marks the beginning of a journey where women from Montenegro have the opportunity to achieve not only local but also global impact in cybersecurity.
