Cyber PIVOTT legislation reintroduced in Congress
Homeland Preparedness News: U.S. Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), chair of the U.S. House Committee on Homeland Security, has reintroduced the Cyber PIVOTT Act to address the country’s cybersecurity workforce shortage.
First introduced in the 118th Congress, the Cyber PIVOTT Act would establish a new full-scholarship program for two-year degrees, primarily at community colleges and technical colleges, that are granted in exchange of government service. Officials said the legislation would help bolster the cybersecurity workforce as threats to our networks are on the rise.
