Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative #8 “…we must develop a technologically-skilled and cyber-savvy workforce and an effective pipeline of future employees.” Day Cyber Review Promote cybersecurity risk awareness for all citizens; Build an education system that will enhance understanding of cybersecurity and allow the United States to retain and expand upon its scientific, engineering, and market leadership in information technology; Expand and train the workforce to protect the Nation’s competitive advantage; National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Background

5 Raise national awareness about risks in cyberspace. Broaden the pool of individuals prepared to enter the cybersecurity workforce. Cultivate a globally competitive cybersecurity workforce. NICE Goals

6 Improve knowledge of risks and vulnerabilities in cyberspace. Promote the use of cybersecurity resources and tools. Raise national awareness about risks in cyberspace.

7 Increase exposure to cybersecurity in PreK-12 education by emphasizing connections to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education and the role of mathematics and computational thinking in cybersecurity. Promote interest in computer science and cybersecurity by increasing the diversity and quantity of course offerings and research opportunities. Broaden the pool of individuals prepared to enter the cybersecurity workforce

8 Encourage the development and adoption of the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework. Develop cybersecurity workforce forecasting tools. Establish standards and guidelines for cybersecurity training and professional development. Analyze and identify best practices to help organizations recruit and retain cybersecurity professionals. Evaluate the professionalization of the cybersecurity workforce. Cultivate a globally competitive cybersecurity workforce.

Technologies exist now to make online transactions more secure, private, and more convenient. A vision of the future where the private sector, civil societies, and the public sector collaborate to create the standards and policies needed for interoperable trusted credentials that would dramatically reduce ID theft and fraud online. By acting now and creating a more trusted environment for online transactions, we will ensure that the Internet continues to support innovation and the creation of new jobs.
