for Cybersecurity Education
  • The Nation needs greater cybersecurity awareness.
  • The US workforce lacks cybersecurity experts.
  • Many cybersecurity training programs exist but
    lack consistency among programs.
  • Potential employees lack information about skills
    and abilities for cybersecurity jobs.
  • Resources exist for teachers and students about
    cybersecurity but are difficult to find.
  • Cybersecurity career development and scholarships
    are available but uncoordinated.
  • Lack of communication between government, private
    industry, and academia.

The National Initiative for Cybersecurity
Education (NICE) was established to raise
national cybersecurity awareness, broaden the
pool of cybersecurity workers through strong
education programs, and build a globally
competitive cybersecurity workforce.
