Cybersecurity underpins the technology changing modern life, including keeping the power grid secure and operational, ensuring autonomous vehicles aren’t hacked, and safeguarding our privacy in a network of intelligent devices.
The cybersecurity field needs creative, intelligent problem-solvers to address these tough challenges. Experts agree that teams composed of people from diverse backgrounds excel at solving complex problems.
Join us on “The Road to Equity-Conscious Research in Cybersecurity.” With many stops along the road, we begin with a discussion that will include a foundational understanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and why it’s important in cybersecurity. Our dynamic keynote speaker Gloria Ladson-Billings, the president of the National Academy of Education, will introduce the concept of culturally relevant teaching methods, followed by a panel that will share their best hacks to ensure diversity in their programs.
