Can the U.S. Military Raise 5,000 “Cyber Surgeons”?
While on active duty in the U.S. Army, I commanded soldiers whose job category was more of a profession than a trade. These elite personnel trained for years in post-graduate study specific to their field. Once their educational foundation was complete, the soldiers entered an apprenticeship to hone their on-the-job skills. That experience further reinforced their earlier training by pairing the trainee with an experienced practitioner who could offer practical guidance.
Should private companies be drafted in the cyber war?
Moody’s recently announced a rating outlook downgrade for Equifax, linking the decision to spiraling costs from the massive 2017 data breach that topped $690 million last quarter and are anticipated to remain high as the company continues investing in cybersecurity infrastructure. In today’s modern cyber threat environment, the impacts of a fumbled incident response are beginning to manifest themselves in new, costly ways.
New Collar Careers Bring Military Veterans to the Security Battlefield
The ongoing battle against cybercrime requires a new generation of skilled professionals. Since the cybersecurity skills shortage is expected to reach 1.8 million unfilled positions by 2022, these professionals are in high demand. IBM is taking a new collar approach to filling these positions by concentrating on skills and experience rather than formal education and degrees.
Can AI and Machine Learning Help Fill the Cybersecurity Skills Gap?

With all of the advances in technology, why hasn’t there been a complete automation of procedures? The truth is that new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning tend to increase the efficiency and precision of tasks.
Understanding Cyber Threat Hunting
When experts discuss the breakdown of cyberthreats, the 80/20 principle is often brought up. This principle is based on the idea that 80 percent of cyberthreat actors are generally unsophisticated, while the other 20 percent are so advanced that, given enough time and resources, they could break in to any network. Historically, the defense and intelligence community was primarily concerned about the top 20 percent of cyberattackers.
