Reinforcing Cybersecurity: Start with a Diverse Workforce>
Stay Safe Online – Rich Baich
Studies show there is an ongoing shortage of qualified cybersecurity talent and there is also a lack of gender and ethnic representation. As we collectively work to fill the gap, itâs important to seek out diverse talent. Reversing this trend will take companies that embrace inclusive recruiting and hiring practices to attract diverse talent to consider roles such as Security Operations Center (SOC) Analyst and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO).

Here are two ways companies can increase diverse hiring: Partner with educational institutions that have higher diverse student populations, such as Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) or Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), to raise awareness about your cybersecurity programs. Partner with diverse professional associations to increase your talent-sourcing opportunities.
