FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chairman Green’s Bill to Bolster the Cyber Workforce Reported out of Committee
WASHINGTON D.C.—Today, Rep. Mark Green’s (TN-07) “Cyber PIVOTT Act” was reported favorably out of the House Committee on Homeland Security.
Rep. Green said, “There could not be a better time to bolster our pipeline of skilled and prepared professionals. As nation-state threats to networks and critical infrastructure intensify, bolstering the nation’s cyber workforce aligns with this administration’s goals to promote productivity and guarantee a high return on investment for taxpayer dollars.”
Chairman Green continued, “Our communities would benefit greatly from more cyber professionals who can help critical infrastructure owners and operators—especially those who do not have the resources to invest in cybersecurity. With essential partnerships in the private sector and the support of my colleagues in the House and Senate, including those across the aisle, I look forward to getting the ‘Cyber PIVOTT Act’ to the president’s desk.”
