The Women’s Leadership and Strategic Initiatives Foundation (WLSIF) is proud to announce that our Co-Founder and CEO, Anastasiia Ostrovska, has been recognized as one of the Most Inspiring Women in Cyber 2025—a prestigious international ranking that annually honors 20 women from around the world for their contributions to the development of cybersecurity, innovation, and women’s leadership.
This recognition is awarded to women who demonstrate exceptional leadership, drive systemic change in the field, support professional communities, and open new opportunities for others. Nominees are put forward by the global professional community, and the final list is determined by an independent international jury.
“This award is not mine alone. It belongs to all Ukrainian women who fight every day for our right to a peaceful life: students, servicewomen, civil servants, entrepreneurs. To every woman who overcomes barriers, breaks stereotypes, and builds the future. And at WLSIF, we will do everything to make your path a little easier,” commented Anastasiia Ostrovska.
For the WLSIF team, this distinction is not only a recognition of our leader’s personal journey, but also a confirmation of the values we promote as an organization—leadership, equal opportunities, and systemic change.
We continue to work to:
-
create more opportunities for women in the cyber sphere,
-
shape a new generation of women leaders,
-
strengthen the digital security of Ukraine and the world.
We sincerely thank the Most Inspiring Women in Cyber team, our partners, and everyone who supports women in the security field every day. This is a shared victory that inspires us to move forward.
