NSA: Looking for a few good cybersecurity professionals

At a time when cyberattacks on America's critical infrastructure have increased
17-fold (between 2009 and 2011), the need for highly trained cybersecurity
professionals is acute. However, 83% of federal hiring managers in a recent
survey said it was extremely difficult to find well-trained cybersecurity
professionals and a projected shortfall of 20,000 to more than 40,000 people is
expected in the years to come.
