Cybersecurity Jobs “Heat Map” to Highlight Employer Needs and Worker Skill

Cybersecurity Jobs “Heat Map” to Highlight Employer Needs and Worker Skill

As part of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s “Skills for Business” initiative, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is funding the development of a visualization tool that will show the demand for and availability of critical cybersecurity jobs across the nation. The project, funded through NIST’s National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), will provide data to help employers, job seekers, policy makers, training providers, and guidance counselors in order to meet today’s increasing demand for cybersecurity workers.
