Abstract: The security sector in France appears as a masculine one. However, the lines are moving with the emergence of the digital security sector. It therefore represents a new territory of feminization where women are organizing themselves into networks of support and promotion. Our article extends a previous study in the IT sector and explores the structuring of a new network: The Women's Security Club, created in 2015. Our research analyses how the creation and the development of a women's network supports the feminization of this sector. We have used the qualitative methodology to explore the feelings of the women in the network and the benefits they derive from their participation. Our study documents the role played by a professional women's network in the process of feminization. More precisely, this research identifies the determinants of the genesis of the network and its development modalities. The mechanisms of professional socialization and empowerment that are deployed there have been analyzed. Finally, empirical arguments in favour of the development of female networks, as responses to the challenges of gender diversity within strongly masculine sectors, have been proposed
