Diversity and Cyber Security Expertise - new policy report from CIM academics
Very pleased to announce the release of our report on cyber security expertise and diversity. You can read the web version here:
https://warwickcim.github.io/cyberexpertisediversity_survey/
This was a collaboration between Matt Spencer, Carlos Cámara-Menoyo and Timothy Monteath, with the support of the Research Institute for Sociotechnical Cyber Security.
We make the case for:
> more extensive data collection to ensure that the implications of professionalisation for diversity in cyber security are well understood,
> enhancing the breadth of the specialisms recognised by the Cyber Security Council to better represent fields such as human factors or security awareness,
> better interdisciplinary engagement with the CyBOK framework to ensure that social and cultural expertise are recognised, and,
> empirical analysis of cyber security problems to ensure that specialisms are aligned with practical needs.

Strengthening Gender, Equity and Rights in National Digital Health Strategies in Africa
Many countries are developing their first national digital health strategies––an exciting opportunity to leap towards modernizing healthcare, leveraging digital tools and the power of artificial intelligence for all. But: are officials thinking about how gender inequalities and unmet needs of other diverse groups might undermine digital access and inclusion?
We plan a series of online conversations with diverse voices– to think through the specific challenges and needs of diverse regions, and to spark a multidisciplinary dialogue on the integration of Gender, Equity, Rights, and Inclusion into the governance of digital health and AI for health. We plan three episodes, with the inaugural session focusing on the African region, where 38 of 47 Member States have now established national digital health strategies.
