Maria Rousan at Port53, says, "At the outset, building an inclusive work environment, providing equal pay and opportunities for promotion should be uppermost in the minds of the companies." "Secondly, there needs to be an emphasis on educating and training women in technology, providing mentorship programs, and developing a supportive community of female tech professionals. Lastly, policies should be implemented to reduce gender biases and encourage diversity in the hiring process," adds Maria Rousan. Nathalie Rivat, VP of System Engineering at Fortinet "For hiring managers at cybersecurity organizations, I encourage that diversity and inclusion should be top of mind," says Nathalie Rivat of Fortinet. Diversity helps organizations as different individuals bring their own approach to problem solving with different perspectives. Diversity is achieved by hiring different characters and it is greatly improved with gender diversity. The staff shortage we are facing is a huge concern.
