Addressing the cybersecurity diversity gap
Join us at the next Day of Shecurity
DOS Leadership Summit – October 2, 2025, in Boston, MA
Mission
Secure Diversity exists to increase diversity in cybersecurity. The lack of diversity and inclusive environments for individuals who have been historically excluded due to various identities is still an issue. Initially, Secure Diversity is focused on gender diversity at all levels of cybersecurity, as in 2022, women still make up less than 24 percent of cybersecurity roles. The percentage decreases as one moves up the leadership ladder (data on non-binary individuals is very limited).
Secure Diversity aims to solve the three largest obstacles that people, particularly historically excluded genders, face when seeking to get into and level up in the cybersecurity industry:
- Lack of knowledge about cybersecurity jobs
- Financial barriers to training and education
- Lack of roles for junior and entry-level professionals, as well as career transitioners
