"Women’s representation is important because women tend to offer viewpoints and perspectives that are different from men’s, and these underrepresented perspectives are critical in addressing cyber risks."
cite please?
Anecdotally, I know plenty of women in cyber security -- it's the field I have one of my degrees in and I work in at times, and I see no specific, quantifiable difference in their "viewpoints and perspectives" from men's "viewpoints and perspectives" in this field.
I'm an advocate for women in STEM, I want to see women represented wherever they want to be represented -- but articles like this are just bullshit fluff, and the person who wrote it has no expertise in the field to support his article anyway. He's a professor of "management" who writes blockchain articles.
