Abstract

The demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to significantly outpace the supply with a projected worldwide shortage of two million by 2017. At the same time, there are large numbers of transitioning military personnel that have important technical skills that could be coalesced into addressing this demand.

Challenges and benefits are discussed.
