Government agencies struggle to find qualified cybersecurity staff and contractors to meet critical infrastructure protection mandates
Department of Defense and federal agencies face severe talent shortages in specialized cybersecurity roles, forcing them to pay premium rates ($26M+ contracts) to staffing firms just to fill positions. Current recruitment channels and internal hiring processes are too slow and ineffective to source the niche technical expertise needed for mission-critical systems, leaving agencies vulnerable and forced into expensive long-term consulting contracts.
