Dr. 安德烈·卡伦说:
“I am really looking forward to speaking at the Lancashire Cyber Alliance launch event. The North West is an exciting place for cyber security, 和 LCA will hopefully become a strong voice for the region as a result.
I'll be speaking on a subject that I'm very passionate about, and that's the need to diversify the UK's cyber security workforce. 和许多行业一样, cyber suffers from a stark lack of diversity in many forms, including; socio-economic, 性别, 种族, 和神经的多样性. Starting to remedy this problem would help to close the cyber skills gap. I will speak about how we've seen sector-leading diversity in our CapsLock cyber security bootcamps, and how this will help bring some much-needed diversity of thought, skills and experience to the UK's cyber industry.
在我看来, the more our cyber workforce reflects the diversity of our society, 我们的网络解决方案就会越好.”
