Found in: Security
October marks the beginning of National Cybersecurity Month, which highlights steps being taken by government agencies to educate citizens on guarding against cyber threats at home, work and school.
To kick off a month of cybersecurity awareness, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Janet Napolitano today announced the Department's new hiring authority for cybersecurity experts and professionals. The new authority allows the DHS to staff up to 1,000 positions over the next three years. The cybersecurity roles will include cyber risk and strategic analysis, cyber incident response, vulnerability detection and assessment, intelligence and investigation, and network and systems engineering.
"This new authority will enable DHS recruit the best cyber analysts, developers and engineers in the world to serve their country by leading the nation's defenses against cyber threats," said Napolitano.
