Cybersecurity is an ever-growing field, presenting both opportunities and challenges. A notable challenge is filling the significant number of open positions in this industry. Recent statistics estimate that there are over 750,000 jobs vacant in cybersecurity[¹]. In the face of such an opportunity, the industry also grapples with another challenge — the urgent need to increase diversity and inclusivity.
Various organizations, like the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and CyberWarrior.com, have teamed up to address this pressing issue[²]. Notably, tech giant Google has also launched an educational campaign to tackle the problem[³].
