NIST 投资 360 万美元解决网络安全劳动力短缺问题

美国国家标准与技术研究院 (NIST) 已授予 360 万美元的合作协议，以解决网络安全人员短缺的问题。赠款的目的是培养一支能够抵御日益增长的网络威胁的劳动力队伍。该投资将为 18 个以教育和社区为中心的组织提供资金，以建立由 NICE 监督的多部门努力，NICE 是政府、学术界和私营部门之间的合作伙伴关系。

National Institute of Standards and Technology Invests $3.6 Million to Address Cybersecurity Workforce Shortage

美国国家标准与技术研究所投资 360 万美元解决网络安全劳动力短缺问题

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), a federal agency within the Department of Commerce, has announced the allocation of $3.6 million in cooperative agreements to 18 education and community organizations across 15 states. These grants will serve to bolster the cybersecurity workforce and mitigate the industry's acute shortage of skilled professionals.

美国商务部下属的联邦机构美国国家标准与技术研究院 (NIST) 宣布向 15 个州的 18 个教育和社区组织拨款 360 万美元，以达成合作协议。这些赠款将用于增强网络安全劳动力并缓解该行业熟练专业人员的严重短缺。

The grant recipients will engage in a collaborative effort under the oversight of NICE, a public-private partnership between government, academia, and industry stakeholders. This initiative underscores the critical need to develop a robust cybersecurity workforce capable of safeguarding businesses against escalating cyber threats.

赠款接受者将在 NICE 的监督下开展合作，NICE 是政府、学术界和行业利益相关者之间的公私合作伙伴关系。这一举措强调了培养一支强大的网络安全队伍的迫切需要，能够保护企业免受不断升级的网络威胁。

"Our economic and national security imperatives hinge on the availability of a well-trained and highly proficient cybersecurity workforce," said Laurie E. Locascio, Director of NIST. "This investment directly addresses the pressing gap in cybersecurity talent, equipping organizations with the resources they need to protect themselves."

NIST 主任 Laurie E. Locascio 表示：“我们的经济和国家安全需要取决于能否拥有训练有素且高度熟练的网络安全劳动力。” “这项投资直接解决了网络安全人才的紧迫缺口，为组织提供了保护自身所需的资源。”

According to data from CyberSeek, a NIST-funded platform that monitors the cybersecurity job market, the United States has faced a persistent shortage of qualified cybersecurity professionals, with approximately 450,000 job openings remaining unfilled in the past year. NIST's analysis indicates that for every 100 cybersecurity vacancies, only 82 qualified candidates are available, highlighting the urgent need for workforce development initiatives.

根据 NIST 资助的监控网络安全就业市场的平台 Cyber​​Seek 的数据，美国一直面临合格网络安全专业人员的短缺，去年约有 45 万个职位空缺。 NIST 的分析表明，每 100 个网络安全职位空缺中，只有 82 名合格的候选人，这凸显了劳动力发展计划的迫切需要。

The prevalence and severity of cyber threats are corroborated by recent statistics. In 2023, Statista reported a surge in private data exposure incidents involving U.S. government entities, with the number of cases rising from 74 in 2022 to over 100 in 2023, compromising the personal information of millions of individuals.

最近的统计数据证实了网络威胁的普遍性和严重性。 2023年，Statista报告称，涉及美国政府实体的私人数据泄露事件激增，案件数量从2022年的74起上升到2023年的100多起，损害了数百万人的个人信息。

The Consumer Sentinel Network disclosed that in 2023, data breaches impacted over 353 million people nationwide. Similarly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Internet Crime Report revealed a 10% increase in cybercrime complaints from the public in 2023, totaling 880,418 incidents. This surge underscores the escalating financial toll of cybercrime, which is projected to reach $10.5 trillion by 2025.

Consumer Sentinel Network 披露，2023 年，数据泄露影响了全国超过 3.53 亿人。同样，联邦调查局的互联网犯罪报告显示，2023 年公众的网络犯罪投诉增加了 10%，总计 880,418 起事件。这一激增凸显了网络犯罪造成的经济损失不断上升，预计到 2025 年将达到 10.5 万亿美元。

NIST's grant program aims to establish Regional Alliances and Multistakeholder Partnerships to Stimulate (RAMPS) cybersecurity education and workforce development. This initiative will focus on collaborating with local businesses and non-profit organizations to identify and address their cybersecurity workforce needs.

NIST 的资助计划旨在建立区域联盟和多利益相关方合作伙伴关系，以刺激 (RAMPS) 网络安全教育和劳动力发展。该计划将侧重于与当地企业和非营利组织合作，以确定并满足他们的网络安全劳动力需求。

In addition to its workforce development efforts, NIST has also led the establishment of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) Safety Institute consortium in response to the Biden administration's executive order on AI safety policies. This consortium seeks to develop robust and ethical AI technologies and promote their responsible use.

除了劳动力发展工作外，NIST 还牵头成立了人工智能 (AI) 安全研究所联盟，以响应拜登政府关于人工智能安全政策的行政命令。该联盟致力于开发强大且符合道德的人工智能技术，并促进其负责任的使用。
