Increasing the variety of minds and people in our sector is not simply a nice-to-have: it’s an operational imperative. Owanate Bestman is a cybersecurity specialist recruiter with first-hand experience of creating gender-balanced security departments. Here’s how he does it…
“I was tasked with supporting the CISO in recruiting several technical and non-technical security specialists to create a new security division. Through our frank and open conversations, it was clear he wanted a more diverse environment.
