EXCLUSIVE: Dept of Education (ED): Only $600 for Cyber Training

This is how ED supports cybersecurity

As recently as 2017, the Department of Education (ED) only afforded $600 per year per federal employee for critical cybersecurity skills training? Most who live in the DC area know that the typical cyber course can run from $3000-$5000+ for most basic certifications.  More advanced training can run much higher.

The commitment from ED leading the cybersecurity “education” charge should be questioned.  See the following article from Nextgov.com:
