Meet Port Swigger's first women in tech scholars
Summary: PortSwigger launched a scholarship scheme directed at young women starting tech careers, offering paid work, tailored personal development, financial support, and the potential for a permanent position after graduation. The company spoke with Charlotte and Lucy, the first two female graduates in the scheme, about their experiences, and applications are open from 28 October 2024 to 17 March 2025 for women in year 13.
Key Takeaway: The pipeline into security tooling starts with who gets a first paid role; this scheme names two graduates so far and a five-month application window, which is the scale at which early-career intake is actually decided.
