NIST Recommends Cyber Alliances Among Industry, Government, Schools

Cybersecurity collaboration is a business imperative, not a charitable contribution, the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education concluded Tuesday in a report for industry, government and schools. NICE recommended: establish program goals and metrics; develop strategies and tactics; measure impacts and results; and sustain effort. Goals should focus on “ensuring strong and community relevant training, increased cybersecurity workforce capacity, facilitated learner placement, and fostered cybersecurity innovation,” NICE said.
