#IncludeCybersecurity DEI Forum
This is our forum where we discuss all things #diversity, #equity, #equality and #inclusion. Through our events we have created a space for serious conversations and actions we take for creating a better, self-aware society where respect, kindness, support, and empowerment is a norm not an exception.
In 2021, cybercrime damages will rise to $6 trillion a year according to Cybersecurity Ventures, but between 1.8 to 3.5 million cybersecurity jobs will go unfilled. The best schools are graduating smart people, who work at excellent companies. Despite that, the number and extent of breaches have not decreased. By not including diverse points of view, we’ve presented a homogenous attack surface to threat actors, one which they’re exploiting daily to a significant profit and public detriment.
