As cyber threats evolve and increase in volume, traditional approaches for stymieing cyber threats are no longer sufficient.

CISOs must prioritize diversity in their teams to counter evolving threats.

Traditional cyber security teams - generally a very male, white and middle-class environment - present a significant vulnerability to organizations.

These wider perspectives allow teams to identify vulnerabilities from different angles, stay one step ahead of attackers, and develop more complex defense strategies.

CISOs can play a vital role in championing diversity by strategically incorporating security talent into their teams.

Deploying future talent will help solve the short-term skills gap to support teams and alleviate immediate pressures.
