The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) this week announced $3.6 million in grants to help address the cybersecurity skills shortage. As part of the project, 18 education and community organizations across 15 states will be granted roughly $200,000 each to educate future cybersecurity employees. "Our economic and national security depend on a highly skilled workforce capable of defending against ever-increasing cyber threats. By investing in our cybersecurity workforce, we are not just filling a critical gap. We are creating a future where Americans have access to the training they need to secure high-quality, good-paying jobs,” NIST Director Laurie E. Locascio said. #NIST #StrategicGeneration #stratGen
