“A bill to require the president to assess the government’s cybersecurity workforce, including an agency-by-agency skills assessment, cleared a House panel on Wednesday. The legislation also would order the White House to evaluate the pool of available cybersecurity talent and any barriers to the recruitment of cybersecurity professionals.
