It's a Human Thing: Strategies for Navigating Diversity & Inclusion in your Organization

Presented at Diana Initiative 2020 Virtual, Aug. 22, 2020, 9 a.m. (60 minutes).

Over the last several years, the infosec community has preached the importance of Diversity & Inclusion in the space. But what does that look like? How can infosec leaders put realistic measures and policies in place to achieve a diverse and inclusive work force? In this session, I will cover both good and bad strategies used by companies over the last two years; highlight the do and do not for organizations of all sizes; and discuss with the audience how to navigate Diversity & Inclusion during socially charged times. The audience will leave with real implementation measures; guidance on what to steer clear of; and a community to continue the discussion after the talk.
