CSW2024: Neurodiversity & Cyber. A match made in heaven?

CSW2024: Neurodiversity & Cyber. A match made in heaven?

Christine Eckford is an amazing individual and a dear friend. Today she will talk about neurodiversity and how being neurodivergent affected her studies (at Edinburgh Napier University, where she completed her BEng in Cyber Security & Digital Forensics), paving the way for her career as a lecturer at West Lothian College and as a co-founder & CEO of the charity “Citizens of Cyber”. She will talk about why neurodivergent people may be the best fit in certain cyber roles, and why inclusion in the sector will only make us safer and better off.
