Interesting. But it seems like the lack of _gatekeepers_ is the basis for the article to assert that _gatekeeping_ is not happening. I would argue that there is indeed a “gating function” happening with regard to infosec/cybersecurity. Take, for example, women’s representation in the field or in technology in general. Abysmal. You need look no further than the misguided and mysogenistic Palo Alto marketing event at Black Hat to see fresh signs of talent being discouraged and outright excluded from feeling welcome and equal.
