Three Democratic members of Congress want the government to borrow private-sector practices to improve federal hiring and training and bolster the cybersecurity workforce.
In a letter to Office of Management and Budget Acting Director Kathleen McGettigan, Reps. Derek Kilmer (D-Wash.), Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Kathleen Rice (D-N.Y.), who co-chair the New Democrat Coalition Cybersecurity Task Force, suggested ways to tackle the “unprecedented” cybersecurity challenges and lackluster government recruitment and retention of skilled cyber professionals.
