CMSI HISTORY

!  In June 2012, the Secretary established a Homeland Security Advisory Council (HSAC) Task Force on CyberSkills with a two-part mandate: "  To identify the best way DHS can foster the development of a national security workforce

capable of meeting current and future cybersecurity challenges; and "  To outline how DHS can improve its capability to recruit and retain the cybersecurity talent it

needs.

!  In accordance with the findings and recommendations the Task Force released in October 2012, the Deputy Secretary has been overseeing a Department-wide Implementation Group to ensure DHS creates a world-class cybersecurity workforce and expands the pipeline of cybersecurity talent

!  To maintain focus on this important issue, the CyberSkills Management Support Initiative (CMSI) was launched on April 1, 2013 in the Management Directorate

!  The CMSI support targets five key areas: "  Hire, test, and train to standards; "  Grow and expand the pipeline for talent; "  Strategically manage the workforce;
