WISE is the first workshop that advocates for women in the field of hardware and systems security (HSS). This workshop, collocated with HOST 2017, is composed of three main themes: 1) experience sharing and visionary view from female role models, 2) discussing research/work/life challenges faced by female students in HSS, 3) exchanging research ideas and prompting potential collaborations. We encourage all women related to the field of HSS and those who are willing to support women in HSS to join this workshop and help grow female workforce in HSS.
