The “Diversity in Cybersecurity Project” team at the University of Pittsburgh is currently working on identifying actionable items that will help recruit and retain more individuals from underrepresented groups (URGs) in cybersecurity.

As part of our work, we are conducting a survey to learn about experiences and inhibitors to working in the field of cybersecurity. Your feedback will help us understand the important variables affecting the participation of URGs in cybersecurity education and professional practice.

Please take a few moments (10-15 minutes) to answer a set of multiple-choice questions using the following link: https://pitt.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1T85YFWRhVI7X4a .

There is no direct compensation for taking the survey.  However, participants will have a chance to win one of five $50 gift cards as a token of our appreciation.


 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any of us.

Thank you for your time and participation,
