The underrepresentation of women in cybersecurity careers can be attributed to various factors, such as societal stereotypes, a lack of visible role models, educational gaps, a potentially hostile work environment, and implicit biases in hiring practices. Exploring the topic through a gender or racial lens provides a nuanced understanding of these challenges and offers insights into promoting diversity and inclusion within the field. Examining intersectionality, career pathways, educational initiatives, and the impact of diverse perspectives on cybersecurity solutions contributes to more effective strategies for creating an inclusive and diverse cybersecurity workforce.
