Meaning that we can learn from knocks, missers and others. Evolve from anti-fragile to resilience built in the fabric of people, no matter their background, gender, age, neuro-wiring etc. As cybersecurity threats evolve, so must the strategies for building and maintaining a diverse and inclusive team.
