  3. Cyber Security - A National Problem The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) was established to raise national cybersecurity awareness, broaden the pool of cybersecurity workers through strong education programs, and build a globally competitive cybersecurity workforce. • The Nation needs greater cybersecurity awareness. • The US workforce lacks cybersecurity experts. • Many cybersecurity training programs exist but lack consistency among programs. • Potential employees lack information about skills and abilities for cybersecurity jobs. • Resources exist for teachers and students about cybersecurity but are difficult to find. • Cybersecurity career development and scholarships are available but uncoordinated. • Lack of communication between government, private industry, and academia.
