Hacking the Gap
Guth, Douglas J.
Community College Journal, v89 n4 p22-28 Feb-Mar 2019
Cybersecurity workers protect crucial information across the industry spectrum, from health records to bank accounts to sensitive military communications. A massive shortage of skilled technical employees in the U.S. has put the nation's digital privacy and infrastructure at risk, observers say, leading more community colleges to include cyber-related programming as an important facet of their workforce development training. However, the always changing cybersecurity landscape is challenging two-year institutions to keep their curriculum current and relevant, an issue exacerbated by a limited faculty pool that requires extra incentive to join the community college ranks when lucrative university positions await. Community colleges staying abreast of cybersecurity trends are turning to government and industry resources for financial and programming support. This article examines cybersecurity programs at community colleges throughout the U.S.
