The National Institute of Standards and Technology announced Tuesday it awarded a three-year grant to the IT trade group CompTIA to create a “heat map” of cybersecurity jobs.
Under the grant, CompTIA will work with job market analytics and research firm Burning Glass Technologies to conduct research and develop a way to illustrate the supply and demand of cybersecurity workers across the country. CompTIA will receive $249,000 in the first year for the effort through NIST’s National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education. Subsequent funding is based on the availability of appropriated funds but is expected to be $469,000, according to a NIST spokeswoman.
The map, expected to come out by the end of 2016, will be updated every 90 days and will show postings linked to cybersecurity job categories laid out in the National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, according to a release. For the full article click here
