S3E2 - Driving diversity in infosec with Lisa Hall

PagerDuty Head of Information Security Lisa Hall joins us on CISO Insider for an in-depth discussion on what diversity in the infosec industry really looks like — not just hiring to meet DEI quotas, but fostering differences to build strengths across the board. Diversity in thought and background among her staff is a success factor for Lisa’s team, and it leads to greater diversity in the work they do at PagerDuty. Other ideas we chat about today include the importance for leaders to make and maintain connections within the industry, and turning the restrictions of COVID into a positive in recruiting wins for Lisa’s team, like the ability to expand hiring to a greater pool of candidates and optimize for remote work.
