Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced decision to recruit and hire 1,000 cybersecurity professionals across DHS over the next 3 years to protect the nation’s cyber infrastructure, systems and networks.
“Effective cybersecurity requires all partners—individuals, communities, government entities and the private sector—to work together to protect our networks and strengthen our cyber resiliency,” said Secretary Napolitano. “This new hiring authority will enable DHS to recruit the best cyber analysts, developers and engineers in the world to serve their country by leading the nation’s defenses against cyber threats.”
This step will definitely stir the cyber security market – private contractors are lining up to fulfill the employment gap and undertake projects including cyber risk and strategic analysis; cyber incident response; vulnerability detection and assessment; intelligence and investigation; and network and systems engineering.
