We are proud to announce CyberSupply
CyberSupply is a data-rich project that examines the availability and access of high school:
computing and cybersecurity courses,
programs, and
pathways in 11 states.
The sizable workforce gap requires a dramatic increase in the number of people choosing to pursue a cybersecurity career. Securing the cybersecurity workforce requires short-term measures and longer-term actions to build student pipelines to become tomorrow's workforce.
Efforts to ensure the cybersecurity workforce need to be data-informed; with data, the United States will know what interventions to start, stop, or continue. To explore the data and see what we found in these 11 states go to: https://cybersupply.org/.
