Couldn’t have said it better myself department:
The U.S. government will work to develop an “unrivaled” cybersecurity workforce and broaden the nation’s pool of skilled cyberworkers under a draft cybersecurity education plan released Friday by a U.S. agency.
…
“The cybersecurity vulnerabilities in our government and critical infrastructure are a risk to national security, public safety, and economic prosperity,” the agency said in the draft plan. “Now is the time to begin a coordinated national initiative focused on cybersecurity awareness, education, training, and professional development. The United States must encourage cybersecurity competence across the nation and build an agile, highly skilled workforce capable of responding to a dynamic and rapidly developing array of threats.”
As I say far too often, I’m sure, there is no single more spectacular opportunity for the American worker now than in information technologies. See the whole article at http://www.networkworld.com/news/2011/081211-us-agency-releases-cyber-education.html .
