Report to the President on Supporting the Growth and Sustainment of the Nation's Cybersecurity Workforce: Building the Foundation for a More Secure American Future
From the Executive Summary: This report responds to the May 11, 2017, Executive Order on Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure. That order directs the Secretary of Commerce and the Secretary of Homeland Security to: [1] Assess the scope and sufficiency of efforts to educate and train the American cybersecurity workforce of the future, including cybersecurity-related education curricula, training, and apprenticeship programs, from primary through higher education; and [2]Provide a report to the President with findings and recommendations regarding how to support the growth and sustainment of the Nation's cybersecurity workforce in both the public and private sectors. Other departments and agencies, industry, academia, and others in the private and public sectors contributed helpful information and views. Previous studies were reviewed to provide additional context. Key findings include: The United States needs immediate and sustained improvements in its cybersecurity workforce situation. [1] Employers increasingly are concerned about the relevance of cybersecurity-related education programs in meeting the needs of their organizations. [2] Expanding the pool of cybersecurity candidates by retraining those employed in non-cybersecurity fields and by increasing the participation of women,minorities, and veterans as well as students in primary through secondary school is needed and represents significant opportunities. [3] There is an apparent shortage of knowledgeable and skilled cybersecurity teachers at the primary and secondary levels, faculty in higher education, and training instructors. [4] Hiring considerations--including lengthy security clearance delays and onboarding processes--severely affect the sufficiency of the cybersecurity workforce. [5] Comprehensive and reliable data about cybersecurity workforce position needs and education and training programs is lacking--even though the general context and urgency of the situation are obvious.
