Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Summit

 

There is no denying that ongoing efforts to improve our cybersecurity posture is of national importance. Within the Federal Government, our cybersecurity strength is enhanced by acting together to build a unified cybersecurity workforce capability across the Federal enterprise.

To support this collective action, cybersecurity workforce community leaders will host a Summit for Federal employees on April 27, 2021. 

The Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Summit will feature colleagues who are working first-hand on initiatives geared toward attracting and strengthening vital cybersecurity talent webinar series where experts share information about the federal cybersecurity workforce.

Objectives:

• To provide strategic and program updates from key departments and agencies that influence cybersecurity workforce legislation, policy, guidance, and standards
• To highlight key projects and initiatives that support the growth and sustainment of the Federal cybersecurity workforce
• To create a sense of community among individuals in Federal departments and agencies with similar responsibilities for building a superior cybersecurity workforce
