Bill to Require Fed InfoSec Worker Review
“A bill to require the president to assess the government’s cybersecurity workforce, including an agency-by-agency skills assessment, cleared a House panel on Wednesday. The legislation also would order the White House to evaluate the pool of available cybersecurity talent and any barriers to the recruitment of cybersecurity professionals.
The House Committee on Science and Technology’s Subcommittee on Research and Science Education approved by a voice vote the Cybersecurity Research and Development Amendments Act of 2009. The measure goes to the full committee for consideration. “
