Abstract
The roadmap for successful alliances to build the cybersecurity workforce requires four primary components: 1) establishing program goals and metrics, 2) developing strategies and tactics, 3) measuring impact and results, and 4) sustaining the effort. Each section of the roadmap provides specific examples and activities that the pilot programs found to be successful and repeatable in other efforts.
Concluding remarks
In conclusion, bringing together the multiple stakeholders in the cybersecurity ecosystem – industry, government, and educational institutions – can help communities address many of the cybersecurity workforce challenges that they face today. There are synergies among stakeholders that can be a natural glue for establishing a collaborative and local cybersecurity ecosystem. However, recognizing those synergies requires careful nurturing, relationship building, and patience. The challenge is to convince organizations to invest in collaboration as a business imperative and as a mutually beneficial and strengthening activity, not just as a charitable contribution
