The tech industry is grappling with two big challenges. First, it is struggling to fill jobs with qualified candidates. The second predicament, the remedies to which will also help cure problem #1, is diversifying beyond the current homogeneous band that fills the high-tech halls. Both of these problems are even more acute in the cybersecurity sector.
There are more than one million cybersecurity jobs to be filled, with projected shortages of qualified personnel looking out into the future. In terms of diversity, one telling example speaks volumes about the tunnel vision in cybersecurity and the potential accessible solutions through a more diverse workforce — the number of women in cybersecurity is 11 percent, which is expected to remain flat into the foreseeable future.
The solutions in cybersecurity may be more readily accessible than is generally realized. Diversity in cybersecurity certainly includes gender and ethnicity. Importantly, robust cybersecurity also requires discipline diversity, in order to craft sustainable solutions.
From the earliest days of cybersecurity in the 1980s, it was recognized that effective cybersecurity demands not only the technologists, but also and equally the input from other sectors and parts of the enterprise, including management, legal, compliance, human resources, and communications.
Cybersecurity is a big tent with a diversity of stakeholders. True security extends to every nook and cranny of the company, so we must reach across and between departments for solutions. Legions of cybersecurity engineers are not sufficient to get the job done.
Cybersecurity is inherently interdisciplinary. One thing I’ve done over and over is to bring people from different disciplines into a room, create a common vocabulary and work through a particular issue or problem that needs to be resolved.
Cybersecurity problems, including some of the most urgent, pressing, and knotty ones, often have little or no technical component. There are so many other elements to contend with — awareness and training, security processes and procedures, incident response, recovery planning and communication. To fill those one million cybersecurity jobs, the industry must look to cross-train professionals from other disciplines. By doing so, it will improve the security of its information systems.
Combining diverse skills, perspectives and situations is necessary to meet effectively the multi-faceted, dynamic challenges of security. Looking beyond the sensational headlines about hackers, phishers and scammers, it is obvious that cyber threats and harm don’t come only from malevolent outsiders or even malicious employees. Security problems frequently stem from perfectly satisfied employees who lack training or simply make mistakes. Effective management and training of fallible human beings is a cybersecurity domain that calls upon human resources and other vital, non-technical abilities. Employees with a vast array of skills, backgrounds and interests are required to do this right. Whatever an individual’s talent, whether it’s with people, technology, administration, management or education, there is very likely an aspect of cybersecurity for which her skills and expertise are needed.
For example, understanding and managing human and social behavior among employees, customers, clients and with the public at large is critical. The ability to get along with, bring together, supervise and get results from a broad range of people is an absolutely vital skill.
Time and again, people have walked into cybersecurity through multiple points of entry, whether it was the IT, legal, operations or human resources door. For example, Linn Freedman, a fellow faculty member in the Brown Executive Master in Cybersecurity program, entered the field 20 years ago as an attorney addressing privacy issues for health exchanges. Since privacy protection requires cybersecurity, her expertise in both grew, and she now serves as the chair of the data privacy and security team in her law firm. She has found great job satisfaction in cybersecurity, one of the most dynamic fields today.
This article would be incomplete without a few words about Boards of Directors. American enterprise struggles to diversify its boards, lagging behind Europe and, once again, tying a hand behind its back by limiting the ranges of its expertise and worldview. It may increasingly be viewed as a potential lapse of fiduciary duty. Boards of directors need to get religion about cybersecurity. The most direct way to do that is to bring that expertise on to the board. This important governance goal offers yet another way to strengthen the organization by augmenting both its cybersecurity and its diversity.
