The House Homeland Security Committee and its cyber subcommittee held a hearing to address the significant shortage in the U.S. cybersecurity workforce. The committee highlighted that over 500,000 cybersecurity jobs remain vacant, posing a serious threat to national security. Members of Congress and security officials warned that this gap leaves the U.S. and its critical infrastructure vulnerable to attacks from foreign adversaries. Representative Pfluger emphasized that a siloed approach to cybersecurity exacerbates the shortage and pointed out the lack of workforce development in rural America. Representative Ezell discussed the need to enhance public awareness and encourage students to pursue careers in cybersecurity to help defend the country.
