Abstract

The critical need to fill the cybersecurity workforce gap is a pressing national issue that requires immediate action. Accelerating cybersecurity workforce development through reskilling and upskilling of workers can be a pragmatic means in resolving this issue. This action, supported by verifiable and digital records through a stackable credentialing system, presents a viable model of workforce shortage solution, not only for cybersecurity but also, for other careers as well. This paper is an exposition of our on-going project on Cybersecurity workforce development through upskilling and reskilling efforts enhanced with digital and stackable credentials.
