It s Time to Break the Rule of Steve
Today, in a room full of cybersecurity professionals, there are still more people called Steve than there are women.
Discussions about recruitment trends and how people can further their careers in cybersecurity are common topics at industry conferences these days. Recently, at Black Hat Europe, one of the most striking career discussions revolved around audience demographics, which reminded me of a point I d heard earlier in the week: the Rule of Steve, a concept originally introduced by Dawn-Marie Hutchinson, chief information security officer for pharmaceuticals and R&D at GSK.
This rule is easy enough to explain: In a room full of cybersecurity professionals, there are usually more people called Steve than there are females. Yes, this is a tongue-in-cheek observation, but it illustrates how far our industry has to go in encouraging not only women but other diverse groups into the workforce.
