Empowering Inclusion in Cyber Defense

Discover how cybersecurity is being reshaped to be more inclusive and accessible for everyone, especially those with disabilities. Join us as we host an enlightening conversation with Lauren Iglehart, CISA's Chief of the Office of Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility, and Bob Nadeau, the Partnerships Branch Chief within Strategic Relations at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. While Neil Milliken enjoys a break in Thailand, our guests share the United States government's groundbreaking initiatives aimed at making cybersecurity resources available to all. Learn about the Secure Our World campaign, designed to mitigate cyber risks while fostering digital equality, and hear how these efforts are making a global impact on infrastructure protection.

We also explore the importance of diversity within CISA's workforce, including the Neurodiverse Federal Workforce Initiative, which focuses on recruiting individuals with autism and other targeted disabilities. Gain insights into how diverse perspectives enhance innovation and problem-solving in the face of evolving cybersecurity threats. Our discussion highlights the challenges and opportunities presented by AI and underscores the need for comprehensive cybersecurity education. Additionally, we touch on the complexities of managing a multigenerational workforce and the importance of leadership in adapting to a rapidly changing security landscape. Listen in for a deeper understanding of how CISA is leading the charge toward a more secure and inclusive digital future.
