Currently, there is not a defensive cyber
curriculum for secondary education that
meets education, government, military,
and industry standards.
Minimal Number of Cyber

Career programming in cyber security is
new in the secondary space. Less than
5% of higher education graduates have
cyber related skills.
3.5 Million Vacant Global
Cyber Jobs
In Texas alone, there are 70,000
vacancies; in the U.S., there are over
600,000 cyber related job openings.
