Summary

Detectify has prioritized building a diverse team by attracting talent from various backgrounds, nationalities, and life experiences, as demonstrated by their first Diversity & Belonging Survey. This initiative reflects the company's belief that cybersecurity should be inclusive and accessible to all, challenging the perception that it is only for a select few. Detectify's workforce includes 45% women globally and 72% in executive leadership, although women make up only 35% of technical roles, highlighting an area for improvement. The company embraces over 30 nationalities and values personal milestones, with 20% of employees being parents or caretakers. Detectify remains committed to improving gender parity and inclusivity through community events and equitable hiring practices. The positive response from 90% of survey participants further motivates the company to enhance diversity and inclusion efforts, with a future report planned to share progress and inspire other organizations.
