Arkansas Department of Commerce - Division of Workforce Services issued the following announcement on Mar. 11.
Arkansas is pooling programs and talent to meet a crush of jobs in the emerging field of cybersecurity, and positioning itself as a hub for training cybersecurity professionals.
That’s the conclusion of local educators and nonprofit leaders who spoke with Arkansas Business on what the industry calls its “talent gap.”
A cybersecurity talent pool would be an economic opportunity, fueling high-paying jobs for Arkansans, helping to mitigate the devastating costs of cybercrime, and putting the state on the shortlist for future security response and secure operation centers.
The rapid rise of cyberthreats and new technologies needing protection have transformed the security landscape.
