The latest news from the White House on the National Cyber Workforce Strategy is great news but it must go further than addressing the short-term industry needs and provide a long-term vision into what the future cyber requirements will be.
Computer literacy, cybersecurity, coding skills, engineering, data analytics and AI must all be part of the next generations basic skills, making it a digital strategy that includes cyber.
This will move cybersecurity from being ‘by design’ to becoming ‘by default’ which is what makes the world a safer place online. Cyber should not be placed in a silo but must be integrated more into education and the workplace, which will ensure more skills are accelerated whilst also improving diversity.
