- Education[hr_shadow] HEALTH IT – EDUCATION [hr_shadow] SECURITY AWARENESS AND CYBERSECURITY WORKFORCE EDUCATION [hr] The cyber threat to the United States affects all aspects of society, business and government. Evidence continues to mount illustrating that our national information critical infrastructures are vulnerable to threats, not just from nation states, but also from individuals and small groups who seek to do the United States harm or who wish to exploit our weaknesses for personal gain. A critical element of a robust cybersecurity strategy is having the right people at every level to identify, build and staff defenses and responses. Unfortunately, this is where the United States is the weakest. The U.S. not only has a shortage of the highly technically skilled individuals required to operate and support systems already deployed, but also an even more desperate shortage of individuals that can design secure systems, write safe code, and create the next generation of cybersecurity tools and technologies needed to prevent, detect, mitigate and reconstitute from damage due to process/system failures or malicious attacks. [hr] SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF CYBERSECURITY EDUCATION STRATEGIES REQUIRES: [hr] Promoting and funding the development of more rigorous curricula in our schools. Promoting the development and implementation of cybersecurity career paths and professional…
