The Department of Homeland Security will hire up to 1,000 cybersecurity experts over the next three years to help protect U.S. computer networks, an Obama administration official said.
“Cybersecurity is one of our most urgent priorities,” said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in making the announcement Thursday.
She unveiled the plans at an event marking the beginning of National Cybersecurity Awareness Month.
“This new hiring authority will enable DHS to recruit the best cyberanalysts, developers and engineers in the world to serve their country by leading the nation’s defenses against cyberthreats,” according to Napolitano.
