Here we are in the spring of 2025, and the headline news is that the federal government is removing tech staff; at the same time, reports are coming in of thousands of unfilled cybersecurity positions across the government.
Today, we sit down with a self-proclaimed "Cybersecurity Lifer" who will give the perspective of the SANS Institute on this dilemma.
John Pescatore has been involved in federal cybersecurity since 1978. When he examines our current situation, he gives his opinion on training, skill level, and legislation that is being considered to address many of these issues.
He mentions recent SANS studies that have suggested the issue is less about the number of openings than about finding individuals with a specific skill set required for a federal role.
He discusses the evolution of cybersecurity training from hands-on courses to community college programs and the importance of practical experience.
Pescatore also discusses AI's role in cybersecurity, noting its limitations and the need for domain expertise. He emphasizes the importance of rotating staff roles and providing continuous training to retain talent in federal agencies.
