As the demand for cybersecurity professionals continue to grow, it's important for companies to consider the benefits of diversity in their hiring practices. According to a study conducted by the Boston Consulting Group, businesses that prioritize diversity have 45% greater revenue from innovation and a 19% advantage over less diverse competitors.

But diversity isn't just about improving a company's bottom line. It can also help attract investors. A 2021 Harvard study found that 28% of worldwide investors evaluate a company's environmental, social, and governance ideals before investing. By demonstrating a commitment to diversity and inclusion, companies can appeal to a wider range of investors.
