As the cyber threats we face become more diverse across the nation and the globe, it is critical for the security and IT operations teams defending against them to encompass diverse perspectives - including a range of races and ethnicities, genders, ages, and social, cultural, and technical backgrounds. To protect our organizations as the workplace continues to evolve, progress starts with the people.
