In the episode I am very grateful to have my first female co-host, Maril Vernon.  Maril and I got a chance to talk with two talented colleagues of mine who are both on the board of the Women's Security Alliance (WOMSA), Rebecca Harvey and Diana Volere.  The topic that we delve into this security mentoring and the state of DEI in 2021.

Talking Points:

• Is there a shortage of quality mentors?
• What does a good mentoring experience look like?
• Push your comfort zone when looking for a mentor
• What has change since you both started your careers in cybersecurity?
• The value of diversity in security
  • Diversity fatigue?
  • Resistance to diversity?
