  • Summary

  • The White House Cyber czar has launched a hiring sprint to fill 3,000 cybersecurity positions in the federal government before the end of the fiscal year. The government recognizes the increasing need for cybersecurity professionals and has allocated billions of dollars to address hiring shortfalls. However, there are challenges in attracting talent, such as the high demand and better pay in the private sector. The government should consider dropping unnecessary requirements, like degree qualifications for entry and mid-level roles, and focus on experience and applicable certifications. It is important to make the positions enticing and competitive to attract top talent.
