Pressing Issues
There are probably no more engaging topics of discussion among the cybersecurity community than diversity and talent gaps in the workplace, compliance gaps in an organization’s security strategy and ensuring building facilities are continuously operational.
This week we have articles that delve into the disparity pointed out in a recent study showing only 24% of cybersecurity professionals are women. This not only reflects diversity and equality concerns within organizations but also carries important consequences for the industry's overall development and efficiency. We also feature why compliance with industry regulations and cybersecurity standards is undoubtedly a crucial starting point in establishing a secure environment for data, employees and customers, however, it is essential to recognize that compliance is purely a static framework. Finally, continuously operational facilities are essential to almost anyone who owns and operates a building or campus. However, the level of redundancy and operational/security resiliency required will differ depending on the functional requirements.
We look forward to your feedback and also encourage you to provide ideas for future technical, application and regulatory articles.
