We're redefining what it looks like to be in cybersecurity.

Hi, I'm Candace Williams!

My love for technology started early—I’ll never forget the day my dad brought home our first family Windows PC. I spent hours exploring games like Solitaire and Minesweeper, but my real journey began when it broke. I was ten years old, and I was determined to fix it. That moment taught me two things: technology is fascinating, and I love a challenge.

Fast forward to today, with nearly two decades in the industry, that same curiosity and problem-solving mindset drives me. From my time serving in the United States Air Force to leading impactful projects in the Aerospace & Defense industry, I’ve built a career on solving complex cybersecurity challenges while focusing on real-world impact.

But for me, it’s not just about technical skills—it's about building a more diverse and inclusive cybersecurity landscape. I’m passionate about creating space for women, especially women of color, to thrive in this field because I believe that diversity fuels innovation.

Let’s connect and collaborate to shape a secure, resilient future for businesses while making cybersecurity more inclusive and dynamic for everyone.
