Cyber Talent Shortage Complicated by ‘Deprioritizing’ in Colleges

Talent shortfalls remain an obstacle in the battle against cybercrime, with a Cisco report from earlier this year pinning the need for 2016 at one million cybersecurity jobs.

However, a study by security firm CloudPassage suggests that US colleges and universities aren’t meeting the demand, with not one of the country’s top 10 computer science schools as ranked by US News and World Report requiring a cybersecurity course for graduation. Three out of those 10 do not offer elective courses, either.
