Bad news: The cybersecurity skills
crisis is about to get even worse.

leaving or moving elsewhere.

Lack of High Quality Defensive
Cyber Curriculum
Currently, there is not a defensive cyber
curriculum for secondary education that
meets education, government, military,
and industry standards.
Minimal Numberof Cyber
WorkforcePipelines
Career programming in cyber security is
new in the secondary space. Less than
5% of higher education graduates have
cyber related skills.
3.5 MillionVacant Global
Cyber Jobs
In Texas alone, there are 70,000
vacancies; in the U.S., there are over
600,000 cyber related job openings.
Without High Quality Defensive
Cyber Curriculum…
• Instructors must create their own
• Students are ill prepared for college
and careers
• Industry remains without a quality
workforce

5. Why Now?
The demand for talent is
growing faster than the
need can be fulfilled.
New career pathways have emerged but many
positions continue to remain unfilled.
Threat levels are growing rapidly, and the cost to
defend against cyberattacks continues to rise.
