Isn't it funny how "diversity" is in everything these days.
I expect better from Dark Reading.  I find that the "diversity" argument is tired at this point.  The people who can do the best job, should get the job.  I've worked with outstanding people of all shapes, sizes and colors and have never had problems with corporate policies that hid the gender/race or other aspects of a candidate to remove all bias, either intentional or unintentional.  But what passes for diversity these days only weakens and divides teams.  The search to satisfy a quota and show that you are good people because you hired x rarely results in the best hire.  And with "near zero unemployment" in the industry as your articles confirm,  good candidates people just leave when they see your organization going this route.

What I wish I knew when I started in cyber security...
As a cyber security leader, professional development for you, your team, your colleagues and everyone else is more important than knowing the latest zero day or how many enterprises were impacted by the Solar Winds incident. Cyber security professionals at all levels can benefit from allocating their time to professional development activities for themselves and their colleagues as one of their most important work priorities.

What I Wish I Knew at the Start of My InfoSec Career
To earn a reputation and succeed as a hacker, you have to find and exploit just a single vulnerability. To earn a reputation and succeed as a cybersecurity expert, you have to identify and prevent hackers from exploiting all of them. To penetrate a network, it's enough just one vulnerable element, to protect the network, you have to know all of them.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
