Join the Movement: Embracing Neurodiversity to Strengthen Cybersecurity
The cybersecurity industry faces an urgent challenge: 700,000 unfilled jobs and a talent shortage that continues to grow. To stay ahead of evolving threats, we must rethink how we attract, support, and retain top talent. Cybersecurity isn't "one size fits all"—and neither are the brilliant minds that drive it.
With up to 20% of adults identifying as neurodivergent, overlooking their unique strengths, perspectives, and problem-solving abilities means missing out on some of the most innovative, sharpest minds in the field. It's time to break outdated molds, celebrate neurodiversity, and build stronger, more resilient cybersecurity teams.
Join us for the 2025 SANS Neurodiversity in Cybersecurity Summit where different minds come together to create next-level security. Be part of the change.
The Neurodiversity in Cybersecurity Summit will be packed with content developed by and for ND cybersecurity professionals, but will also be invaluable to anyone who manages, reports to, works with, or just wants to support ND colleagues and friends.
Can’t wait for the Summit? Catch up on the talks from the 2024 Summit here.
