Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Summit and Webinar Series

 

There is no denying that ongoing efforts to improve our cybersecurity posture is of national importance. Within the Federal Government, our cybersecurity strength is enhanced by acting together to build a unified cybersecurity workforce capability across the Federal enterprise.

To support this collective action, cybersecurity workforce community leaders hosted a Summit for Federal employees on June 23, 2020, which kicked off a series of virtual events to support collaboration and information sharing among agencies focused on building and maintaining a robust cybersecurity workforce.

The Summit featured colleagues who are working first-hand on initiatives geared toward attracting and strengthening vital cybersecurity talent. It is followed by a 4-part webinar series where experts share information about cybersecurity workforce pay flexibilities, hiring flexibilities, candidate assessment strategies, and classification and titling guidance.

Objectives:

• Create a sense of community among individuals in Federal departments and agencies with similar responsibilities for building a superior cybersecurity workforce
• Provide strategic and program updates from key departments and agencies that influence cybersecurity workforce legislation, policy, guidance, and standards
• Highlight key projects and initiatives that support the growth and sustainment of the Federal cybersecurity workforce
