"Legislation Introduced to Bolster Cyber Workforce"

Bipartisan legislation aimed at strengthening cybersecurity education and addressing the cybersecurity workforce gap has recently been introduced by lawmakers. The Harvesting American Cybersecurity Knowledge through Education (HACKED) Act would expand upon science education and cybersecurity programs currently established in several federal agencies, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), National Science Foundation (NSF), and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The HACKED Act would also offer new incentives to increase the recruitment of cybersecurity educators as well as support collaboration between employers and universities to fill the cybersecurity workforce gap. This article continues to discuss the purpose and proposals of the HACKED Act.
