WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, House Committee on Homeland Security Chairman Mark E. Green, MD (R-TN) reintroduced the “Cyber PIVOTT Act” to address America’s cybersecurity workforce shortage amid increased threats to our government networks and critical infrastructure. Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) will introduce companion legislation in the Senate. The “Cyber PIVOTT Act,” which was first introduced by Chairman Green in the 118th Congress, would establish a new full-scholarship program for two-year degrees primarily at community colleges and technical schools, which are granted in exchange for required government service.
