No matter how sophisticated cybersecurity technology becomes, organizations will have no hope of staying ahead of emerging threats unless their cyber workforce stays ahead as well. But this won’t happen by accident.
Organizations must begin now to develop the highly qualified cyber workers, managers, and leaders that will be critical not only next year, but down the road. Booz Allen has extensive experience working with clients to build an effective cyber workforce and to develop the leaders who can drive change in their organizations.
A Fast-Evolving ThreatCyber attacks come from multiple evolving sources and infiltrate networks with complex and dynamic methods. The knowledge and skills of the cyber workforce must be just as deep and dynamic.
At the same time, cyber leaders responsible for building, maintaining, and protecting cyber systems must be visionaries who can anticipate crises and work across boundaries.
A Cutting-Edge Cyber WorkforceTo build a strong cyber workforce, organizations must take a comprehensive approach to acquiring, developing, and retaining cyber talent. There are four key paths to that goal: human capital management, leadership development, education and training, and strategic communication and change management. Together, they create an organization-wide cyber workforce for the future.
