The U.S. government is in the process of hiring a small army of information technology specialists to bolster its efforts to protect data held at federal agencies from cybersecurity threats. The federal government hired 3,000 new cybersecurity and IT professionals in the first six months of the current fiscal year.
In addition, the government is “committed to a plan by which agencies would hire 3,500 more individuals to fill critical cybersecurity and IT positions by January 2017,” said Shaun Donovan, director of the Office of Management and Budget.
