About this talk

Please join Workday team members as they address the disparity between the perception and reality of women's and non-binary people's participation in the cybersecurity workforce. Despite claims from recruiters about the difficulty in finding diverse candidates, personal experiences and interactions within the industry suggest otherwise. The session will feature personal stories and case studies of individuals who have successfully entered cybersecurity through non-traditional paths, highlighting the need for diversity in a field that is often dominated by homogeneous groups. Emphasizing that cybersecurity is a shared responsibility, the webinar advocates for diverse backgrounds to bridge the talent gap and enrich the industry.
