Cybersecurity is a multi-faceted discipline that needs brains — a lot, and of all kinds. As such, there is plenty of room for diversity, but it is not welcoming and retaining talent as fast as it could and should. Why?The answers — yes, plural — likely sit inside each of us. Unfortunately, as humans, we all have preconceived notions and perspectives. That's actually a good thing in some cases. However, many humans hold conscious and unconscious bias. Many refuse to remove those filters and break down the barriers that prevent themselves and others from taking the first steps into this industry and succeeding in it once they are part of it.In today's episode, we get to hear first-hand stories of two people that have worked together to help each other — and in doing so, they have paid it forward to help many more.Too often, our community, businesses, and societies get trapped into vicious circles that stop us from accepting what is different, new, and innovative. There is a sense of security that comes from keeping things as they are, following old rules, routines, and procedures. But at scary as change may seem, it is what keeps humanity evolving.If we keep feeding the beast, we will never see the dawn of a new day when the beast is not there to hold us down any longer.When we say us, we mean everyone — everyone.Listen up — and wake up if you need to.GuestsMadiha Jafri, Associate Fellow - Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity at Lockheed MartinSteve Sietz, Project Specialist Senior Staff at Lockheed MartinThis Episode’s SponsorsBugcrowd: https://itspm.ag/itspbgcwebDevo: https://itspm.ag/itspdvwebResourcesFIRST Robotics (to help connect with children and inspire): https://www.firstinspires.org/More on Lockheed Martin's Cybersecurity programs and jobs: https://www.lockheedmartinjobs.com/cyber-intelligenceTo see and hear more The Academy content on ITSPmagazine, visit:https://www.itspmagazine.com/the-academyAre you interested in sponsoring an ITSPmagazine Channel?https://www.itspmagazine.com/podcast-series-sponsorships
