"225,000 More Cybersecurity Workers Needed in US: CyberSeek"

According to security researchers at CyberSeek, over 200,000 more cybersecurity workers are needed in the United States to close the talent gap.  Currently, there are more than 1.2 million cybersecurity workers in the United States.  The researchers noted that between May 2023 and April 2024, cybersecurity job postings totaled nearly 470,000, with network and system engineers, system administrators, cybersecurity engineers, cybersecurity analysts, and information systems security officers in the highest demand. The government is well aware of the cybersecurity workforce shortage and has been taking steps to address it.  In April, NIST announced $3.6 million in grants to help address the cybersecurity skill shortage in the United States.  As part of the project, 18 education and community organizations across 15 states will be granted $200,000 each to train future cybersecurity employees.
