RSA Conference Blog – Much as the Human Element has influenced the curriculum and content you will see at RSA Conference 2020, (ISC)2 Security Congress also has an entire track dedicated to the Human Factor. The topics on this track range from diversity and inclusion to hiring and retaining talent.
According to Jennifer Steffens, CEO at IOActive, diversity is hugely important when trying to solve complex problems in security.
