1 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE National Cyber Security Awareness Month Seeks #TalentHack Solutions to Overcome the Cybersecurity Skills Gap Closing the Cyber Talent Gap and Educating the Workforce of the Future Drives Action and Conversation in NCSAM s Final Week Washington, D.C., October 26, One of the greatest risks to our nation s cybersecurity is a shortage of professionals trained to protect the vast networks we are creating. As such, National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NCSAM) enters its final week today with an emphasis on the growing need for cybersecurity professionals and for educating students entering the workforce to use technology safely, securely, ethically and productively. With the demand for cybersecurity experts growing at three and a half times the pace of the overall IT job market, and our networks becoming ever more connected, providing valuable information about cybersecurity careers as well as the need for building cyber-literate digital citizens including seniors has become a pressing concern. A keystone event being held at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, D.C. on October 27 will address the challenges of this shortage in the cybersecurity workforce. Talent Hack: Solutions to Overcome the Cybersecurity Skills Gap, sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor s Passcode and the National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA), will convene a conversation on three pillars of the cyber talent discussion workforce, education, and diversity that will feature experts from government, the private sector and educational institutions to surface the most promising paths forward for building a new generation of cyber leaders. Attendees will learn what's working and what isn't in creating tomorrow's cyber workforce and discover ways they can contribute to a deeper pool of cyber talent. For more information, visit To watch the event live, visit The Christian Science Monitor s YouTube channel. We can t build a large-scale safe, secure and trusted Internet unless we have the cybersecurity workforce to maintain it. Today, there are hundreds of thousands of cybersecurity positions available, but not enough people to fill them, said Michael Kaiser, executive director of NCSA. This talent gap is a serious threat to our economy and national security. We need to inspire a generation of young people to pursue careers in cybersecurity. A new survey released today by Raytheon and NCSA, Securing Our Future: Closing the Cybersecurity Talent Gap, shows that education about careers in protecting the Internet falls short: 67 percent of men and 77 percent of women in the U.S. said no high school or secondary school teacher, guidance or career counselor ever mentioned the idea of a cybersecurity career and 61 percent are unaware or unsure of the typical range of responsibilities involved in a cyber career. Moreover, in a survey released by ESET and NCSA last week, only 54 percent of parents surveyed said their child (or children) has received any instruction at school about the safe, secure and ethical use of technology leaving almost half of school children uninformed. It is essential that we graduate students with the skills they need to operate the Internet in the safest and most secure way possible, Kaiser continued. That means not just educating them on how to protect their online assets and their networks, but on the career opportunities that are available in cybersecurity. Young people value the richness of their online lives and therefore may be well suited to a career protecting the Internet.
2 Other key findings in the Raytheon survey include: A gender gap: The gap between men and women considering a career where they could make the Internet safer increased fivefold between 2014 and percent of women globally say they are not interested in this kind of work compared to men (17 percent) when asked why they are less likely to consider a career where you could make the Internet safer and more secure A lack of options: 46 percent said no cybersecurity programs or activities were available to them Latent interest in cyber careers: Young adults want careers that require skills cyber professionals use: 44 percent - problem solving, 36 percent - data analysis, 27 percent - programming, 42 percent - management 38 percent have already participated in or sought out cyber opportunities such as competitions, internships, scholarships, job fairs or mentoring programs (31 percent in the U.S.) For more details and analysis of the survey findings, please visit to view reports, infographics and video. NCSA encourages parents to get involved in their kids cyber education through these calls to actions: Volunteer at school, an after-school program, boys and girls clubs and community workshops to teach kids about online safety and cybersecurity careers. C-SAVE is an invaluable resource developed by NCSA to help parents and educators teach students cybersecurity, cyber ethics and cyber safety. You can access teaching materials and lesson plans here: Expose students to opportunities in the field of cybersecurity by hosting an open house at your company to talk about what your cybersecurity department does. Industry/teachers: Inspire students to learn about cybersecurity by mentoring a team in a cyber challenge or hosting events and afterschool programs. Check out CyberPatriot, the National Youth Cyber Education Program created to inspire students toward careers in cybersecurity or other science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Work with your schools or community-based organizations to create an internship program for handson learning. As a parent, learn about the educational steps to a career in cybersecurity and about community organizations that host cyber camps to educate kids about Internet safety and security. Visit GenCyber for information on cyber camps held across the country. On October 28, the Commonwealth of Virginia, in partnership with the Department of Homeland Security, will promote cyber jobs to 350 high school seniors and educate them about resources available to help them start on the path towards cyber careers. Held at Washington Lee High School in Arlington, the event will include the participation of Governor Terry McAuliffe and will feature A Day in the Life Of cyber panel, in which professionals from various public and private industries will discuss what interested them about their jobs, how they got their start and what their typical day as a cyber professional looks like.
