No Password Required: Founder of Cybersafe Foundation and an Obama Foundation Africa Leaders Fellow, Who Is Comfortable in the API Kitchen
October 24, 2024

The No Password Required podcast is dedicated to introducing and celebrating the practitioners, leaders, researchers, and individuals who are shaping the cybersecurity industry. Join us for an in-depth conversation that explores our guests' personalities, expertise, and the path that led them into cybersecurity. The team also discusses current cyber threats and readiness tips for security professionals and business leaders alike.

Confidence Staveley is the founder and CEO of Cybersafe Foundation, Africa's leading nongovernmental organization dedicated to digital development. Her mission is to ensure inclusive and safe digital access across Africa.

Confidence discovered her passion for computer science during a gap year after high school when she first touched a computer keyboard. She then convinced her parents — who had envisioned a medical career for her — to support her new path by presenting hand-drawn slides and a twinkle in her eye. Since then, Confidence has become a leader in application security, founded multiple businesses, starred in the "API Kitchen" video series, and was recognized as a 2021 Obama Foundation Africa Leader.

The show begins with Jack Clabby from Carlton Fields and cybersecurity expert Kayley Melton discussing Cyber Florida's “Do We Belong Here” documentary. The film highlights resilience, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of belonging in the field. From personal stories, including Kayley's, to professional breakthroughs, “Do We Belong Here” captures the essence of representation, diversity, and the future of cybersecurity.
