Embracing DE&I Intersectionality: A Catalyst for More Effective Cyber Incident Response
The role of a cyber incident responder is more critical than ever as these professionals are tasked with protecting organizations from cyber threats, mitigating risks and minimizing the impact of security incidents. As cyber threats continue to proliferate, targeting organizations of all sizes and sectors, it is imperative for cyber incident response (CIR) teams to be well prepared at mitigating threats. One of the often-overlooked aspects of becoming a better cyber incident responder is the integration of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) intersectionality into the responder’s mindset and approach. DEI intersectionality can translate to more effective and empathetic cyber incident responders and, as a result, increase the overall effectiveness of any CIR program.
