Today, significant bipartisan legislation was introduced by Rep. Don Bacon, Chair of the House Armed Services Committee's Cyber IT and Innovation Subcommittee, to ensure the United States maintains its competitive edge in cyber readiness and advanced technology. Additionally, Representatives Shontel Brown and Haley Stevens introduced the Diverse Cybersecurity Workforce Act to address the serious need for talent and diversity in the cybersecurity industry. This bill aims to create a more equitable, efficient, and ethical industry. Representative Brown emphasized the critical and understaffed nature of the cybersecurity field and highlighted the support of CBC Chair Steven Horsford, Ranking Member Bennie Thompson, and Representative James Clyburn. At a Homeland Security Committee hearing, Representative Menendez discussed Hudson County Community College's cybersecurity program and the importance of educating and growing the cyber workforce with Palo Alto Networks' CTO.
Connecting Americans with good jobs that also protect our security interests is a win for everyone. That’s why I’m proud to join @RepShontelBrown in co-leading the Cybersecurity Workforce Act which will improve recruitment of diverse cybersecurity pros. Let’s get this done!
