Hello Anja, I’ve written on this topic: "Cybersecurity Needs Women”, 2018. Nature, https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-018-03327-w “Gender Trouble in Cyberwar: Multiple Masculinities and Femininities of a Cyberspy in the War on Terror,” 2019.

Hello people of AoIR,
Myself and colleagues are busy writing a paper on gendered differences in cybersecurity awareness (aka how well resilient are they against cybersecurity attacks) among ComSci and non-ComSci students at a South African university, and our findings include awareness determined by gender (mostly because the majority of ComSci students are cis male).
I have three questions for those of you who explore these intersections:
1. Has anyone written about *describing* gender in this kind of research, beyond the binaries. It is 2019 after all, and I don't think writing about "male" and "female" participants isn't a very nuanced approach, despite the gendered nature of the findings. Any literature to recommend?
2. Any literature on cybersecurity and gendered risks to recommend?
3. Are there any knowledge communities whose research we should be looking at in terms of conferences, publications, research centers?
Many thanks! Anja

This is a really interesting application of gender + based analysis that our government in Canada wants us public servant researchers to do. In business statistics where I current work there is interest in cybersecurity practices businesses use and at the same time interest in business owner demographics with many countries really interested in female entrepreneurs.
