Commercial Cyber Certifications for Military Reserve Components: A Public-Private Partnership

摘要

US Reserve Components provide the only viable cyber surge capability in the event of a nation-state level cyber attack. Reservists working in cyber are required to meet the training and certification requirements of DoD's Information Assurance Workforce Improvement Program. Mississippi State University is working with reserve component organizations across the country to assist their personnel in obtaining required civilian cyber security certifications. This paper will describe Mississippi State University's engagement with the US Army Reserve's Public Private Partnership Initiative (P3I) operated by the National Security Agency.
