11: Cybersecurity and DEI—Why Diverse Teams Make Us Safer

“Diversity is easy,” says NPower’s Nelson Abbott, talking about the ways enterprises can attract new security talent. It’s the “inclusion” part of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion)—making workers feel wanted and appreciated once they’re onboarded—that is harder. In this episode, Abbott describes how NPower is training thousands of veterans, persons of color, and other underserved groups to serve on cybersecurity teams and why diversity will make those teams stronger.
