Some evidence please?
Plus, diverse people bring different perspectives and ideas about how to solve problems to the table. The infosec community — still mostly male (76 percent) and mostly white (72 percent) — needs diversity to produce better outcomes, Palmore said.
I hear statements like this all the time, but where's the evidence that if your team contains a range of skin colors, genders or <insert favourite physical/non-physical characteristic here> it will automatically be better at problem solving?
Personally, I think the premise is entirely false since two people can originate from an identical demographic but have vastly different approaches to problem solving. Employers should instead focus on neurodiversity.
