Cyber Force challenges

CSIS will host a discussion on the forthcoming report from the Commission on U.S. Cyber Force Generation, which examines how the United States can better build, organize and sustain the cyber workforce needed to meet evolving national security demands.

As cyber threats grow in scale and sophistication, the report assesses key challenges across the current ecosystem, including persistent talent shortages, fragmented institutional structures and barriers to effective coordination between government and the private sector.

The event will preview the Commission’s findings and explore a range of policy and structural options to strengthen U.S. cyber force generation. Attendees will hear directly from commissioners as they discuss the report’s core insights and recommendations, including approaches to improving recruitment, training, retention and operational integration across sectors.
