Gender- and Neurodiversity in Cybersecurity - Talking Equity with Dr. Jacqui Taylor

Dr. Jacqui Taylor and John Salomon talk about the state of diversity in the cybersecurity industry.  

What is the state of women in the sector, and how are neurodiverse professionals represented in information security positions?  What are the current challenges facing underrepresented groups in industry, how do we see this developing in the coming years, and how can we help address current imbalances?

In this conversation, we explore why, aside from it being the right thing to do, companies actually benefit from a more representative workforce.  

Employers with access to a broader range of skills, backgrounds, and attitudes are likely to be much more capable of managing and mastering cybersecurity risk.We also explore how younger generations are approaching this topic.  

How has the digital native experience of Millenials, Gen Z, and beyond shaped their attitudes towards equity, diversity, and better representation of different population groups in the technology / cybersecurity arena?  How can the current generations of professionals talk to these groups and encourage them to take an interest in cybersecurity?
