IT Security from Government Technology: “3 Ways to Fight the Cybertalent War”

3 Ways to Fight the Cybertalent War

Getting and keeping top cybersecurity staff in government isn’t always easy, but there are strategies available to build your workforce.

History teaches us that great leaders build great teams. Surveys confirm and reconfirm that attracting and retaining talent is key to achieving organizational objectives and building a culture that makes a positive difference.

But attracting or retaining professionals with any credible cybersecurity experience into government positions has never been harder than it is right now. Constraints such as compensation packages make it hard to compete in our new “talent war.”

Further complicating this problem are government employees eligible for retirement. A public-sector “brain drain” is still predicted when staff with more than 30 years’ experience decide to retire.
