Schumer sounded the alarm on America’s profound shortage of cybersecurity workers, and initiated a plan to boost the Capital Region’s cybersecurity workforce, which requires training to achieve specific skills.</p>\r\n<p>Schumer explained, that in recent years, the nation has seen a spike in cyber-attacks that have targeted American elections, as well as major employers like Equifax, leading to the exposure of the personal information, including social security numbers, of over 100 million people. Many municipalities and school districts have also been victimized by costly and disruptive hacks, ransomware and more. Furthermore, studies have indicated a need for 1.8 million new, cybersecurity experts worldwide by 2022, to fill hundreds of thousands of jobs annually. Therefore, Schumer announced a major push for the creation of a cyber-education pilot program, which would provide funding to educational institutions, such as the UAlbany and New York’s community colleges, to train the next generation of highly-equipped cybersecurity experts, as well as prepare students to get and keep good-paying jobs in the tech industry.</p>"}}
