Preparing the Pipeline: The U.S. Cyber Workforce for the Future (Defense Horizons, Number 72)

Abstract

This paper addresses methods to close the gaps between demand and the current existing capabilities and capacity in the U.S. cyber workforce. A large number of professionals - with not only technical skills, but also an understanding of cyber policy, law, and other disciplines - will be needed to ensure the continued success of the U.S. economy, government, and society in the 21st-century information age. Innovative methods have been developed by the government, think tanks, and private sector for closing these gaps, but more needs to be done. This paper is part of a larger discussion about the future of the U.S. cyber workforce and existing and new concepts that must be expanded to ensure continued success.
