Jargon-loaded job descriptions, a labyrinth of qualifications and a lack of role models revealed as among the biggest obstructions to diversity in cyber security

The UK Cyber Security Council has launched The Diversity Process Flow: Ethnic Minorities in Cyber (EMiC) paper, identifying overcomplicated language, unclear qualification requirements and a lack of role models from underrepresented backgrounds as key barriers to increasing diversity within the sector.

The paper has been produced following the Council's Ethnic Minorities in Cyber event in February and wider consultation with its members from across the cyber sector.

It seeks to help raise awareness of the key obstacles to achieving greater diversity across the sector and highlight actions that can be taken to address this.
