President Donald Trump this week signed a new executive order (EO) designed to recruit and educate more cybersecurity professionals across both government agencies and the private sector.
The EO outlines myriad initiatives supporting its plan to create a larger pool of talent moving between businesses and the federal government. Some of these are training opportunities including work-based learning, apprenticeships, and “blended learning” programs for new entrants to the security field, as well as seasoned practitioners who want to develop their skill sets.
