Socura Signs the Respect in Security Pledge
Socura is delighted to support the Respect in Security initiative by signing the pledge to support a workplace and community free from harassment and fear.
According to a new study produced by Sapio Research, around a third (32%) of information security professionals have had personal experience of harassment online, 44% of which occurred on Twitter, 37% via email, and 35 % in person. Of the in-person experiences, 36% occurred at industry events, 47% in the office, and 48% during work social events.
With numbers so high, a group of cyber security professionals have decided to take a stand against all forms of harassment within our industry with the creation of Respect in Security.
“We want our industry to be a safe space where we inspire one another, celebrate together, and take pride in kindness and inclusivity. We’re committed to inspiring positive change, not only within our workplace, but throughout our community. We must do more to ensure that everyone knows what harassment looks like, and do whatever is in our power to stamp it out, once and for all.”
Jamie Brummell, CTO & Founder
