PIVOTT Act Revived to Tackle Growing Cybersecurity Workforce Shortages

In 2024, ISC2 found that the gap amounted to 4.8 million people globally, up 19% from the previous year. Both public and private sector organizations – including the UK’s NCSC and the SANS Institute – have introduced countless initiatives in an attempt to close the cyber workforce gap, but it keeps growing. Perhaps the US PIVOTT Act will work better?
