July 14, 2014 — Labs, industry join forces to train cyber security specialists for nation’s critical cyber infrastructure
LLNL 7/14/2014—Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is joining Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Bechtel BNI to train a new class of cyber defense professionals to protect the nation’s critical digital infrastructure. About 80 percent of the nation’s critical digital infrastructure and assets are owned and operated by private industry. The Bechtel-Lawrence Livermore-Los Alamos Cyber Career Development Program is designed to allow the national labs to recruit and rapidly develop cyber security specialists who can guide research at their respective institutions and create solutions that meet the cyber defense needs of private industry. The program will provide recruits with experience in the labs’ national defense research and development culture plus hands-on experience in Bechtel’s global cyber operations. The goal is to produce cyber defenders with first-hand knowledge of the security challenges faced by private industry, and the tools to address those problems.”
