Most of the world is online, but not everyone has the skills to benefit from it. Our society is facing an increasing digital skill divide. It doesn't just correlate with growing socioeconomic divide, but it actually worsens it. Disadvantaged individuals are at risk of becoming even more disadvantaged as the increased cybersecurity threat landscape affects them disproportionately. As a result, our safety, democracy and future are at risk. What can we do as cyber professionals, as citizens, as companies?
