It’s time to get kids and teens started down the path to cyber security training and education
To combat these evildoers, organizations have trained and developed IT staffs to install and monitor defensive systems to protect their digital assets. Unfortunately, there is a paucity of skilled cyber security professionals to operate those systems.
Those with a vested interest in cyber security recognize that currently there is a critical shortage of skilled personnel in the cyber field. Writing for Forbes.com, Steve Morgan notes that, “More than 209,000 cyber security jobs in the U.S. are unfilled ... with a projected shortfall of 1.5 million by 2019.”
How will this shortfall be addressed? Where will we find these much-needed skilled professionals? Perhaps more importantly, when and how will these professionals be trained and educated?
An educational solution
Currently our IT professionals tend to follow one of several paths: Some rise through the IT ranks and learn on the job. Some take advantage of concentrated skills training via certifications, boot camps, and other means. Some attend high-level learning institutions, either online or at traditional brick-and-mortar schools, to acquire a degree.
