Topic: Cybersecurity and Diversity

Time: 1:10–1:50 p.m.

Location: Zoom Meeting

Audience: Students, Professors, Government

Presenter(s): Kevin Harris, American Public University System

Description: Cybersecurity and Diversity are both high value topics that are discussed in isolation most of the time. Both of the topics resonate with individuals and organizations alike, however the intersections are often overlooked. As nations and organizations look to protect critical infrastructure, the relationships between these two areas must be cultivated. Diversity is no longer only a social awareness and morality initiative but instead a core element for defending the critical infrastructure.
