Bridging the Gap: Investigating the Barriers to African American Inclusion in the Cybersecurity Workforce
Abstract
Despite the growing demand for cybersecurity experts, African-American professionals continue to encounter significant obstacles in accessing and advancing their careers within this field. This research examines the factors contributing to this hiring gap, including educational disparities, a lack of awareness, and implicit bias. Furthermore, this chapter highlights the adverse consequences of such disparities, not only for an individual's career prospects but also for the overall diversity, innovation, and resilience of the cybersecurity ecosystem. By shedding light on these disparities, this chapter aims to contribute to the broader discourse on diversity and inclusion within the industry, encouraging positive change and ultimately fostering a more representative and robust cybersecurity workforce for the future.
