Description
Protecting sensitive information from rising cyber threats, new scalable attacks, and vulnerabilities
is a challenging task in part due to attracting, recruiting, retaining, and advancing diverse
cybersecurity talent. Consequently, effective and efficient cybersecurity experts and network
security specialists are essential to the defense against increasing cybercrimes. A diverse cyber
talent deficit exists, resulting in government agencies and businesses struggling to defend
themselves against data breaches, denial of service attacks, ransomware, and threats. Differences
in perspectives and thinking could lead to the innovation of new ideologies, the discovery of new
vectors, and new practices to help solve problems. For this reason, attracting, recruiting, retaining,
and advancing diverse cybersecurity professionals could help protect mission-critical systems
through the effective collaboration of diverse cyber talent.Cybersecurity, although a rapidly
growing segment of IT, is a significant concern for many security professionals in the government
and private sectors. Outsider threats due to cyber-attacks and compromised credentials account
for 92% of most investigated incidents. Cybersecurity experts expect an upward trend toward
advanced cyber attacks. However, the cyber challenges go beyond rising cyber threats, because
there is a widespread shortage of qualified and diverse cybersecurity talent to fill the available
cybersecurity roles to effectively and efficiently protect sensitive information. Cybersecurity
professionals protect the confidentiality, integrity, availability of data, and information systems, and
provide security awareness. Cybersecurity leaders seek holistic strategies to attract, recruit, retain,
and advance diverse cybersecurity talent to protect critical infrastructure and sensitive information
from hackers or cybercriminals intent on causing harm. This book reinforces the critical need for
diversity in cybersecurity and the alignment of security objectives with strategic goals. Qualified
women and minority cybersecurity talent are underrepresented in the cybersecurity workforce.
Women account for only 11% of the information security workforce; 24% of science and
engineering workers; and 34 percentage points lower than the U.S. average of women in the
workforce. Women possess unique and essential character traits that enable them to succeed in
cybersecurity, governance, risk, and compliance (CGRC) roles, with 58% having either a master’s
or doctorate versus 47% of men having such academic degrees. The risk of a lack of diversity in
cybersecurity results in a deficit of cybersecurity talent to secure systems. This book serves as a
guide for cybersecurity leaders to use to attract, recruit, retain, and advance diverse cybersecurity
professionals to efficiently and effectively protect sensitive information from rising cyber threats,
drawing from the evidence-based literature and the findings from my doctoral research.
