The Department of Homeland Security's Science & Technology Directorate and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) awarded $2 million to the Critical Infrastructure Resilience Institute (CIRI) to develop a network of cybersecurity institutes to train the next generation of cyber professionals and crush a ballooning cyber workforce shortage.

The lines delineating IT supply chain security from cybersecurity and infrastructure protection are blurrier than ever, so federal agencies must consider all three together as part of a whole.

As federal agencies prepare their infrastructure for anticipated 5G capabilities, these modernization efforts elicit the need for enhanced security. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) is uniquely positioned to address these needs.

The cybersecurity workforce gap is not a new issue, and it’s a challenge that both the private and public sectors alike face. The Defense Innovation Unit is one organization taking unique strides to accelerate strategic acquisition of cyber technologies to alleviate the stress of the Defense Department’s cybersecurity personnel.

Several agencies are aiming to deliver IT and security at speed across their organizations by adopting strategies from the military and revamping cybersecurity training.
