A Cyber War on Women

houseU.S. House of Representatives Inspector General Theresa Grafenstine told Congress last week what every male IT professional has been saying for years: There are not enough women in this business. The larger context of her comments was the ongoing global cyberwar we seem to be fighting and the notion that arming ourselves with mostly men in this battle is, quite literally, a half-brained idea. Women, she suggests, bring unique skills and strengths to bear on these and other situations, and we should work toward a greater balance between men, women, and minorities.

Talented Diversity

There’s probably a great deal of truth in Grafenstine’s perspective, but right now your organization is staring down a dozen new projects for next year and you’re trying to recruit every man, woman, and child who brings quantifiable talent to your table.
