“Hackers in hoodies”: How to smash cyber stereotypes for better hiring
Cyber security firm CyLon has incubated and grown nearly £1bn worth of startups. But co-founder and veteran entrepreneur Grace Cassy says she’s most proud of Cylon Go – the programme that offers grants and support to underrepresented cyber talents.
Grace Cassy, co-founder of CyLon, has her eye on the future. Since 2015, her company has supported more than 100 early-stage cyber firms from hubs in London and Singapore, and is the fifth most active investor in cyber security globally.
But it’s not all about profit. Citing a “moral duty”, Cassy launched the Cylon Go programme this year to grow the number of people from underrepresented backgrounds entering the cyber workforce.
