Abstract
Separating service members are a valuable pool of potential cybersecurity professionals. By connecting the large pool of separating veterans to academic, government, industry and career transition partnerships, we can make great strides toward meeting the demand for cybersecurity talent. If we train even a modest percentage of separating service members in cybersecurity, it will go a long way towards filling the qualified cybersecurity talent gap.
