Talent Strategy: Evolving the Department of Defense Cyber Workforce Strategy through Self-Efficacy

Abstract

The Department of Defense (DoD) faces a vital imperative to expand and strengthen its cyber workforce amid rising threats from a contested and congested environment. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Third Strategic Offset and increasingly capable, determined adversaries provide precedence for strategy.

This study examines practices that develop self-efficacy across the talent pipeline. Key strategy includes professionalizing the cyber workforce.
