Get Involved

This collection includes a list of links that promote public involvement and awareness in cybersecurity. The media often describes a future in cyberwar as destructive and damaging. While some reports exaggerate the potential damage of cyber attacks, it is important to be aware of cyber issues (i.e. hacking, viruses, identity theft). Further, there is fear that the United States lacks security expertise needed to thwart future attacks. See A Human Capital Crisis in Cyber Security (http://www.projectcyw-d.org/resources/items/show/164)

There are also challenges that the public can partake in to become more familiar with cybersecurity or even get a job at NSA. This collection provides direction for those interested in becoming involved or spreading the word about cyber issues.
