The Datacare Workforce

The IT and cyber workforce needs more than just technical SOC analysts and penetration testers to defend our critical data and systems. We need administrators, policy experts, budget analysts, identity managers, and more with hands-on cyber experience.

The Cyber Ready Clinic calls this the “Datacare Workforce.”
