Mandiant exec thinks AI could boost diversity in cybersecurity
Briefly

Stuart McKenzie believes that AI could significantly alter the hiring practices in cybersecurity, shifting the focus from technical skills to investigative thinking, which may enhance diversity.
McKenzie asserts that as AI automates certain technical skills, barriers preventing underrepresented groups, particularly women, from pursuing careers in cybersecurity will diminish, fostering a more diverse talent pool.
By prioritizing investigative mindset over specific technical expertise, McKenzie envisions a future where cybersecurity teams are enriched by varied perspectives, essential for innovatively combating cyber threats.
He emphasizes the importance of thinking differently in cybersecurity, suggesting that increased diversity will improve problem-solving and defensive capabilities against attackers.
