During the course of any day, the culture of technology is inevitable in the United States of America, as well as around the world. In order to communicate effectively, science, technology, engineering and math’s (STEM’s) functional culture is vital to one’s work and play within the most common environments. This book defines minorities and the female absence in STEM jobs; it also reviews the race for our nation’s place and space in the world of cybersecurity. Additionally, this read researches its reputable sense of being proactive in order to compete with the daily activities of information technology and our government, educational institutions, and corporate practices of retaining minorities and women in STEM and cyber jobs continues to be questionable.
