Fostering an Educated Workforce

How do we create a workforce that can manage emerging threats by
creating new solutions and developing best practices?

Why is this a critical problem?

The cyber workforce shortfall will exceed 1.5 million unfilled positions by 2020.

Effective solutions must address the cyber, physical, and human dimensions.

Skilled professionals will come from law, engineering, business, economics, and more.
