A11y in Cybersecurity Panel
summary
Most enterprise security tools, training and GRC platforms lack usable access for screen readers, forcing people to share passwords or call helpers and blocking careers (digital forensics toolkits are unusable in classrooms). A few accessible alternatives emerge — rustscan vs nmap — and pilot programs (a ten‑week Apex-style course) place blind professionals into security roles. Legal pressure increases: Section 508, Canada rules and June 2025 EU enforcement push vendors to fix PDFs, auth flows and automated tooling or lose contracts and users.
