Lots of interesting points in NCSC CEO Richard Horne's CYBERUK speech, but I thought it was particularly interesting...

"We also know that being fit for the contest requires diversity. Historically, our industry has not been a beacon of diversity and inclusion. Thankfully, that is beginning to change.

"I’m proud of the 85,000 girls who have participated in CyberFirst...taking the first step in their cyber security career.
And I’m proud to have the first female director of GCHQ, Anne Keast-Butler, as my boss.

"But we have a long way to go.
Genuine diversity is not yet part of the DNA of our industry... and that must change."
