DHS to hire up to 1,000 cybersecurity experts

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning on hiring up to 1,000 cybersecurity experts in the next three years to protect the United States computer network. Cybersecurity is an urgent priority, says Janet Napolitano. She showed the plans at the beginning of the National Cybersecurity Awareness Month. They are going to find the best Eyberanalysts to serve their county by leading against cyberthreats. Government and private secto computer sites have been targeted. The internet is a big part of our lives, society, and economy. Napolitano doesn't think that they will have to hire all 1,000 experts but focused on making a "world-class cyberorganization." The Obama administration set cybersecurity as a top priority. Chris Painter says the president is committed to find someone for the post of cyberczar to head up the efforts.

I agree that our internet is a big part in our lives. We use it for many things like banking, talking with friends and family, working on homework, and for online classes for school, like this online senior social II that I am working on right now. I think it is a good idea to get people to help protect us from cyberthreats. I think that it is crazy that government and private computers have been targeted. I can see that some government computers have been targeted by someone who really wants hack into the government and try to get some valuable information. I can also see why private computers have been targeted too. It is probably because of revenge or someone else who really hates or dislikes the persons computer they hacked into. Our computer systems need cybersecurity experts to secury our internet and computers so these government and private computers are not targeted like the way they have been.
