OPM hopes cyber-job database will help agencies fill workforce gaps

The Office of Personnel Management wants to create a database of federal cybersecurity positions that it hopes will help agencies identify potential gaps in their high-tech workforces.

A new memo from acting OPM Director Elaine Kaplan directs agency managers to collect, review and submit data by the end of fiscal 2014 on their existing positions and future cyber-hiring needs.

"This new databank will enable agencies to identify and address their needs for cybersecurity skill sets to meet their missions," Kaplan wrote in the memo to agency heads.
