Does your business and security strategy include diversity and inclusion? No? It might be time to go back to the drawing board.

If you are reading this, I am assuming you are human. As a human being, I am also going to think that we share many traits—both physical and behavioral. I am also going to assume that we are very, very different people.

One thing that we tend to forget is that what makes humanity so special is the incredible diversity of which it is made.

In this conversation, we are going to focus on the value of diversity for our industry—cybersecurity—and we will leave the anthropological, sociological, and philosophical discussions for another time, and another place.

Chloé Messdaghi and Angel Grant joined us during RSA Conference to discuss the value of diversity and inclusion as a means to build strong teams, products, and solutions—and to attempt to understand why, at the same time, it represents such a big problem for so many.

If you are interested in understanding why diversity and inclusion are one of the most significant values for your company and your team, how you can make it part of your hiring process, how to leverage it in your day-to-day operations, then this is going to be a conversation worth your time. If you're not interested, you may not get the results otherwise possible.

Either way, stay open-minded and enjoy it.

In this conversation, we discuss the role of education in building the next generation of the workforce for the cybersecurity field and how companies and universities can work together to achieve the same goal. Ultimately with better results.

“Companies are made of people” is an old saying that too often we tend to forget, just as we forget that people also build the technology and are ultimately responsible for the future of this and the CyberSecurity industry. As the Digital Revolution keeps moving forward at an oft-restless pace, the roles are becoming more interconnected and so new careers, new educational programs, and new work backgrounds must include skills not even considered relevant a few years ago.

The talent gap is real but is not just an industry gap; it is also an educational institution gap that can be filled with being creative, open-minded, practical, diversity-oriented programs; educating new generations with a mindset of lifelong learning attitude will also prove valuable.

We discuss this and much more, with our guests. And, as it often happens at ITSPmagazine, this conversation starts and ends with the human element. If you are human, we invite you to listen up, and enjoy!
