@OP would you mind putting a contact method/email in your profile

Unfortunately this is harder than it should be. The media is right, there is a huge need for talent here, but there is 0 pipeline to take/train that talent.

Right now it’s just sysadmins, software devs, and B-Sides hackers who seem to fall into all the teams I’ve been a part of (mainly network defense and infrastructure hardening).

Texas is deploying a pretty innovative program next year that will teach cybersecurity for the last two years of high school and then award the student an Associates Degree. From there the plan is to deploy them a giant SOCs of various companies that need lots of eyes to monitor the logs/false positives. This will be 1 or 2 years of real world experience before letting them go on their own in the career marketplace.
