JOIN THE SOURCE

Learn, Connect, Exceed

Tap into The Source, a membership for women in cyber. Discover the place where opportunities, mentorship, connections and tools for your growth and development flow.

Imagine getting the same opportunities as your male peers. Being recognised as credible rather than having to prove your worth. Going from feeling like an imposter and excluded, to feeling like an insider. Imagine that instead of feeling wrong, you start to realise you belong. Leading from your knowing and inner strength, not just following what you think you should do.

Imagine sitting down at your desk with a feeling of excitement for what you’re going to get done today. Leading projects that run smoothly where everyone’s on board and behind your vision. Getting the pay rises, promotions, and clients you KNOW you deserve - without having to work harder and for longer than everyone else in the room. Tapping into an endless supply of confidence, and being seen for the powerhouse that you are. Imagine being crystal clear on what you want and how to get it.

You know that feeling of excitement you felt in your chest just then, as you read those words? That’s the feeling you can capture each and every day. But only if you're ready to EVOLVE.

I've got to ask you..

Aren’t you tired of working twice as hard as your male peers and not getting noticed? Of putting in the hours, clocking up the late nights, taking on extra work and thankless plus one tasks, sacrificing time with your friends and family? Or, missing socials with friends, getting home when your children are tucked up in bed? Seeing your male peers earn more than you and when you bring it up, having to negotiate and compromise?

You sign up for another seminar, work your way through another qualification. But nothing leads to progress. Every time you put forward an idea, or politely disagree, you get labelled as bossy, abrasive, ambitious, emotional. You’re ignored, and have to watch someone else take the credit. So you finish your day feeling disempowered, rejected, tired, angry, and alone. You snap at your loved ones and lay in bed thinking about the life you thought you’d have - the impact you thought you’d make. 

You used to be passionate and driven as you headed to work each day. But now that enthusiasm has dwindled, and you feel like you’re drowning. This wasn't how it was supposed to be when you started all wide-eyed and enthusiastic. But the constant fighting to justify your value. The extra work you have to put in to break the bias. Does it really have to be this hard to be a woman in cyber?

The answer is, NO IT DOESN'T.  Not if you have the right support - an inner network of women in cyber. And that's why I created The Source, a platform for women that's positive, accessible, and valuable.

Are you Ready to be Replenished?

To go from being unclear on which path to take to having your very own roadmap. From burnout to that feeling of empowerment. From being undervalued to being prized and celebrated. From being unheard of to being sought after. And to finally stop being disillusioned with your career and find fulfilment? If your answer is yes, then The Source is the piece you’re missing.

JOIN THE SOURCE

My name is Jane Frankland.

And believe me, I understand the challenges for women and businesses who value them.

As an award-winning cybersecurity leader, bestselling author and women's change agent, and having been in cyber for over two decades, I've spoken to thousands of women about how they feel and what they want. I've even written a book about it!

And here's what I've discovered. Women in cyber feel alone. Undervalued. Unheard. Mistreated. And they're yearning for a safe haven, a community. Not as a place that is anti-men but a place that is so pro-women that you start by thinking you’re surrounded by smart, successful women with amazing ideas, and then you realise that you are one of them. 

I believe the world will only be safer, happier and more prosperous when there are more women in male-dominated industries, like cyber. And that you should be able to be you in the workplace. So, after years of research, I've created The Source because if women in cyber and businesses who value them are to thrive, then they need to come together in a safe space to learn, network, and support one another.

Women like you are vital

In my book, IN Security, I outlined research showing that women have a unique perspective on risk. And that our intuition, social, and emotional intelligence are essential to noticing and dealing with major security breaches. But we’re still underrepresented in the profession. And more of you are leaving than entering it.

The brain drain is unacceptable. As a woman, you’re more likely to experience discrimination, burnout, feel undervalued, and earn less than your male peers.  You need support in your career. Or the industry is in danger of losing an invaluable resource that society depends upon. 

JOIN THE SOURCE

Introducing The Source

A brand new wave of being for women and businesses who value them

 

The reason we’re called The Source is because it means the place you go to first, or someone or something that supples information, or that connects things. And that’s what we’re doing. We are a container for women that’s build on limitless potential. We liked the name because it has spiritual connotations too, and we know these are needed for modern, progressive business. The water theme spoke to us because water is pure, it’s sacred and critical for survival, just like women. It’s the driving force of all nature, just as you are the driving force in your own life.

At The Source we create communities for women and businesses in cyber, that are positive, accessible, and valuable. It’s where you, as a woman, are empowered to build your network, grow your skills, and access essential resources. 

The Source is about doing things differently. We’re not about replicating male environments by being like an old boy’s club. We’re not about blame or shame. We just want better business, and that’s why we are more about union, progression, evolution and working smarter not harder.

At The Source, we align to the UN Sustainability Goals 5, 10 and 16, and have a women’s foundation for scholarships. We operate with a give to gain philosophy, and from a place of plenty. We believe that we are blessed, we have more than enough, and we are better together. But we kick ass too! That’s one of the reasons we unite with other women’s groups, sharing their information, because we know we’re more joined up and stronger that way.  

We offer so much more than a learning or mentor matching platform. We are a community and act as a channel, so you get what you need fast. So, no more trawling through the Internet for hours looking for information or contacts. The Source is your short cut, and we know you’re going to find it so convenient and refreshing.

Who is The Source for?

The Source is for women of all levels, from entry level to leader level, including entrepreneurs, plus women returning to the workplace and women wanting a career pivot. It's a community where women come together to share learning, inspiration, and valuable connections. It's a unifying platform where you can learn, connect, and exceed your potential (and your expectations).

If you’re at the beginning of your career then being part of a varied community of women in the industry means you can see what's possible for you, and work towards your goals with their help and experience. If you've been around for a bit longer, want to be a role model for the next generation and inspire and share opportunities, or if you just want to build useful strategic partnerships, then The Source is for you, too.

 

Who do you meet at The Source?

At The Source you’ll meet trusted sources from within cybersecurity and outside of it. These are leaders and skilled practitioners who we’ve hand-picked for you, and who are well equipped to teach on our live masterclasses. As an active community, each week our members are meeting new peers from other industries around the globe, and from the full ecosystem. They’re having two-way conversations, getting more insight, finding mentors, accountability buddies, business partners and enjoying new business opportunities. The Source is where the magic happens.

 

What you get at The Source

Learn with Live Masterclasses

We've hand picked skilled practitioners from inside cyber and beyond it. These are trusted sources and include some of the biggest names in cyber. They’ll dive into topics that will make a real difference to your career (and your life). With live Q&As plus coaching you can progress and evolve. While continually building masterclasses, some include:

  • Selling to CISOs
  • Managing your first 90-days in cyber
  • Making networking your superpower
  • Tackling root cause analysis and reducing friction in cyber
  • Getting the most out of your cyber team when budgets are tight
  • Eliminating the Imposter Syndrome and building confidence
  • Recognising and banishing burnout
  • Liberating leadership for hybrid, dispersed teams
  • And so much more!

Network with a Global Community

Focused on bringing you together, as a member of The Source you get access to all members and our Members Directory. To help you get ahead and so you can better chart your own path, you can find peers for support and accountability, plus mentors. Or you can let us find them for you.

This is where we join things up. As the source, we lead you to where you need to go - to what you need. And if we don’t provide it, then we’ll show you where you can find it.

In our community you can talk with women who are at a similar level to you, share struggles and wins only women have, and get to know others in the industry. It’s a safe place to practice raising your voice, and stepping outside of your comfort zone, knowing someone there has your back. You can find a group that works for you, even leading and co-creating projects to impact the industry!

Our regular networking events break the norm and help you make valuable connections in a way that’s fun and not the corporate boredom-fest! And we collaborate with other women’s groups and training companies so you can further expand your networks and support. 

Access to Useful & Time Saving Resources 

We don't want you to trawling through the Internet for hours looking for information or contacts. Instead, we're giving you a short cut, and I know you’re going to find this so convenient and refreshing.  

With the help of our partners we feature quality career opportunities and information about the companies that value women and are committed to making women standard not exception. 

In our one-stop-shop for scholarships you can cut through the confusing criteria and find the opportunity that’s perfect for you. 

You get access to cutting edge and honest research that informs our careers as women in the industry. So you can keep up to date with everything you need to know. And you can get involved with the research we’re creating to fill in the data gaps. Got your own research project? Then tap into our network for help with data. 

We want to champion our community, so in our inspiring stories, publications and podcast streams, you can read and hear about women who’ve taken the industry and carved out their own piece of it - to push you to do the same. 

What does success look like at The Source?


Success at The Source is when you feel heard, recognised, rewarded, energised, and fulfilled. It’s when you grow clearer, stronger, and braver. It’s when you’ll see yourself with more confidence and do things differently. And it’s when you feel like you belong. So success to us means you’re not burning out. It’s when you think better, deliver higher quality work, and are fairly compensated for it. And it’s when we as a cyber community come together to build our power and positively impact the planet.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Source is for women in cyber, and we’re here for women of all levels, from entry level to leader level, including entrepreneurs, and for women returners and women who want a change of career.

So if you're feeling alone, unheard, unrecognised, and undervalued, are on the verge of burnout, are fed up having your expertise questioned, and working twice as hard as your male peers, often when you're more qualified, or you're taking the lion’s share of the office housework and having to negotiate and compromise on pay and titles then we want you to come and join us. We can show you how to work smarter not harder, and how to be you in the workplace, whilst reaping the rewards. 

Women need a safe place to come together and evolve. The Harvard Business Review found that women need women-only networks to succeed in business, even if they are already part of co-ed ones.  Access to women-only networks helps close the earnings gap between men and women in business.

Within a women-only network you can find everything you need to move that needle. To develop your confidence in yourself, your agency, and to stop asking for permission.

You can tap into the knowledge, experience, and support of women who know where you are. Women who’ve been in your place, dealt with the same struggles, and carved out a path to success that you can follow.

The Source is where all the networks for women in cyber meet. It's the first place you go and your playbook. It’s your wellspring and watering hole. Where you build your network, grow your potential, co-create with like-minded women, and access essential resources for your career. It’s the safe and positive environment you need to:

  • Crowdsource intelligence,
  • Experiment with new ways of being,
  • Forge strategic relationships
  • Cross-pollinate ideas
  • Collaborate
  • Build playbooks for advancing your career

You know that the world of business is often a tough place for women to be. It’s hard for us to work in a way that fits with our feminine energy. And that’s why you often feel stuck and undervalued.

In The Source, we’re doing things differently. We’re opening up to the spiritual, and the intuitive. To our feminine energy, true power and inner wisdom, and what it can bring to our industry.

We’re redressing the balance - because for so long we’ve been entrenched in the masculine. Bringing more harmony and wellness into our workplaces benefits those around us too.

We want to bring change, but in a natural balanced way. We don’t want to force, but rather to work like water - strong, adaptable, finding a way through every challenge with grace. 

This isn’t just another women’s group. It’s The Source of all women’s groups - a place to belong, to rally together, to have fun. A sisterhood where you feel supported and inspired. Where you can see true transformation in yourself, and in those around you. It’s a place to build strength and courage, where you can return again and again to fill your cup.

We’re diving into learning, exploring tributaries, and finding our flow - so that we can make the change we need - together.

If you spend your days exhausted.

If you know you’re heading straight for burnout.

If you’re tired of being mansplained and having your tech ability questioned.

If you find yourself snapping at your children, or your dog for no reason at all.

If you waste too much energy on pretending to be confident when you’re constantly worrying about fitting in.

If you feel as if you’re moving in slow motion, and everyone is speeding past you on fast forward.

If you want to make a big move, but you’ve been scared to take the leap.

If you know that you’re meant for more, but feel you just can’t quite reach it.

Then The Source is for you.

It’s waiting for you to jump in and find confidence, to feel refreshed by the wellspring of community, and to drink deep from a pool of inspiration.

At The Source you’ll meet trusted sources from within cybersecurity and outside of it. These are leaders and skilled practitioners who we’ve hand-picked for you, and who are well equipped to teach on our live masterclasses. As an active community, each week our members are meeting new peers from other industries around the globe, and from the full ecosystem. They’re having two-way conversations, getting more insight, finding mentors, accountability buddies, business partners and enjoying new business opportunities. The Source is where the magic happens.

I know your calendar is full. I know that you’re doing all the extra “stuff” that needs to be done around the office. I know that you’re working twice as hard as the men in the room. So the last thing you need is something else to do, right?

Well, like we said at the top of the page - it’s not about working harder; it’s about working smarter.

You could spend hours, days even, slogging away at work doing the heavy lifting. 

Or you could spend a few minutes each day building your skills, having your questions answered, getting support and making connections in our community. And then take those skills, that confidence, those connections, to make your work life run more smoothly. To get quicker buy-in from your stakeholders. To be picked for projects or new business. To win contracts with ease. To feel more enlightened, inspired and fulfilled.

There’s a cost to working unproductively. 

But by working smarter, think of all the time in your day that would save.

Think of the time you’d save simply by being less anxious.

Isn’t your mental health worth it?

I’ve lost count of the number of quality clients, speaking opportunities, and promotions that I’ve landed because of the people I know. Either it’s through referrals (“you should really give Jane a call, she’s exactly what you need”), my reputation (“I keep hearing people mention you when they talk about security”), or just a heads up (“Jane, this opportunity is about to come up, you should check it out”).

Who you know matters.

And having a safe and positive space to make those connections, having access to a global community of women working in your field, is invaluable.

You could find your new mentor and work out a plan to double your salary in a year.

You could connect with a peer and decide to launch a new service together.

You could attend one of our live masterclasses and address your Imposter Syndrome once and for all so you finally receive the promotion or pay rise you’ve worked for..

So, I guess the question should be - can you afford not to get involved?

When you join The Source, you can start slowly with a freemium investment. Jump in and watch out masterclasses for free, and then build up to mentoring and investing in our community. 

If you want to get ahead - you need a community. 

Come and join ours.

You’ve had it drummed into you, through school, college, and your early years in the industry, that what will tip the balance is becoming more qualified.

“If people just see the list of accreditations I’ve worked so hard to get, then they’ll recognise my value.”

But this doctrine of gaining power through knowledge is a myth. It’s not what you know, but who you know - remember?

The connections you make, and the reputation you build do more than any piece of paper to supercharge your career. 

With The Source you’re in the right room with the right people at the right time. You can make the links that lead to the next rung of the ladder. You can learn from your peers and those who’ve climbed further. And you can practice the skills you need to be valued, seen, and fairly compensated in your field.

The Source is a mix of business and social. We have online masterclasses, deeper dive trainings, communities, events, and resources. We will also be offering offline events, as we come out of the pandemic. To get started, all you need to do is:

  1. Choose your membership
  2. Login 
  3. Start mixing and turbo boosting your career and life

Success is a personal affair and it's essential you get clear on what looks good right at the start. It will also vary for you depending on where you are in your career. 

For us, at The Source, it's when you feel heard, recognised, rewarded, energised, and fulfilled. It’s when you grow clearer, stronger, and braver. It’s when you’ll see yourself with more confidence and do things differently. And it’s when you feel like you belong.

So success to us means you’re not burning out. It’s when you think better, deliver higher quality work, and are fairly compensated for it. And it’s when we as a community come together to build our power and to contribute to the industry and positively impact our planet.

We are a global community so there will always be women who are available in your timezone and times when we schedule masterclasses for your timezone. If you can’t make a live masterclasses don’t worry. We record them all so you can always get access to one at a time to suit you. Even if you’re unable to attend live, you’ll still be able to email us your questions and benefit from the online community aspect.

Yes you can. You can upgrade as soon as you want. To downgrade, all we ask if you give us a month's notice.

Yes we do. We offer a variety of packages and always start with a discovery call. You can reach us by email to discuss further at: [email protected]
