Army Looks to Tap Civilian Talent For Cyber force
The U.S. Army has a possible solution to solve its need for more cyber forces — training private sector techies to serve as lieutenants in cyber operations.
U.S. Army Cyber Command launched a pilot program to recruit tech workers with academic and applied technical experience into its Cyber Direct Commissioning Program and develop tools and devices for the Cyber Mission Force.
The program will put selected applicants through a total of 16 weeks of training before being assigned to technical roles in 14 different skill areas currently lacking in the cyber force, such as development and software operations, security engineers, software designers and engineers, and product managers.
