Identifying cybersecurity potential could more quickly grow Å·²©ÓéÀÖ cyber workforce
DownloadThe United States faces increasing threats to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ cybersecurity of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ nation. Yet, current cyber workforces are ill-equipped to manage Å·²©ÓéÀÖ risks and costs associated with growing cybercrime and cyber espionage.
A change is needed in how organizations approach building Å·²©ÓéÀÖir cybersecurity workforce. One way is to identify employees with “cyber-potentialâ€� and develop an internal talent pipeline.
ICF’s job analysis and testing experts have identified a preliminary list of capabilities to indicate a propensity for cybersecurity work, and advise that organizations need a valid and reliable assessment that will measure those capabilities within Å·²©ÓéÀÖ context of cyber tasks.
In this white paper, ICF experts discuss:
- why this is a critical concern for organizations
- how organizations can respond to cybersecurity shortages by identifying individuals with cyber-potential
- Å·²©ÓéÀÖ characteristics of cyber-potential, and
- an innovative approach for assessing those characteristics.
