On April 19th, CyberUSA, a national network of cyber communities, announced that it has partnered with Superus Careers to launch the Cyber Career Exchange platform. The partnership will support regional, state-level, and national communities to meet the cybersecurity talent gap. According to CyberSeek, a National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) project estimates that there are over 600,000 unfilled positions in cybersecurity.
As a specialized platform, the Cyber Career Exchange uses a dedicated methodology to help employers find skilled candidates based on job skills. It also provides a system for job seekers and employers to certify skills and lets them find and develop future employees.
"I am proud of our advancements over the past 6 years in connecting cyber communities across the country. Starting with seven statewide cyber communities and growing thirty states to date has provided tremendous value in shaping the cybersecurity landscape at both the state and federal levels. With growing threats and talent shortage more has to be done. The most immediate solutions to filling the open cyber jobs is to provide a system, hosted within trusted communities across the US, designed specifically to help employers and candidates easily find one another. The Cyber Career Exchange accomplishes that goal and more."
- CyberUSA's Co-founder David Powell
"Having worked within and recruited for Financial Services and Healthcare organizations, I understand the vulnerabilities, especially with a shortage that exists in the workforce. I am excited for us to play our role in filling that void from an employment standpoint, which will have a positive impact on generations to come,"
- Superus Careers CEO, Larry Silver
