VioletX sponsored and participated in the Women in Trust Summit 2025, an event convening security leaders, practitioners, and researchers from across the global security community. The summit brought together professionals across disciplines — from GRC and compliance to penetration testing, security engineering, and executive leadership — for a day of conversation about the future of the security profession.
Why VioletX Invests in Community
VioletX's participation in the Women in Trust Summit reflects a long-standing commitment to the organizations and communities that develop security talent and advance the professional culture of the field. Strong professional communities produce better practitioners, more diverse leadership pipelines, and a field that is more capable of responding to the challenges it faces.
The summit was organized in partnership with WISP — Women in Security and Privacy — one of VioletX's key philanthropic and community partners. VioletX has supported WISP's programming for several years, including sponsoring the WISP community mixer at DEF CON 2025.
Conversations That Matter
The Women in Trust Summit 2025 featured candid conversations about the structural challenges facing women in security careers, including promotion and retention dynamics, the gap between technical excellence and organizational advancement, and the professional culture shifts that would accelerate progress.
VioletX CEO Megan Fulton participated in the summit as a speaker and panelist, sharing perspectives on building trust-focused security organizations and the role of company culture in supporting diverse talent. VioletX is committed to continued participation in events and organizations that advance this work.
