U.S. potentially looking to establish a cyber


quoted:

The Department of Homeland Security is considering setting up a "Cyber Reserve" of computer security experts who could be called upon in the event of a crippling cyber attack.

The idea came from a task force the agency set up to address what has long been a weak spot - recruiting and retaining skilled cyber professionals who feel they can get better jobs and earn higher salaries, in the private sector.

However, rather than only physical requirements, I think that they'd be expected to maintain their skills in cyber security and keep up their education in addition to staying physically healthy.
 
Just saw this, Wow this is incredibly interesting! I wonder what type of people would be hired. Some very intelligent folks i hope, maybe people like Penelope Garcia from the show "Criminal Minds" huh?
