[CDP-development] CISA - Cybersecurity Talent Management System Rollout

[MASSE, THERESA]

FYSA

As you know, today's cybersecurity threats are more complex and dynamic than ever, creating new and evolving challenges for our growing agency and the nation. To meet these challenges, we must continue to add top cyber talent to our amazing team. As part of this effort, the Department of Homeland Security has created a brand-new hiring authority that we can use in addition to our traditional hiring methods.

Today, DHS launched the Cybersecurity Talent Management System (CTMS), an innovative new personnel system designed to more effectively recruit, compensate, and retain our top cybersecurity professionals. Through CTMS, the DHS hiring process for cybersecurity positions can shift away from the standard hiring model largely based on formal education requirements to instead focus on a candidate's demonstrated skills and aptitude, which will be evaluated by a series of assessments and simulations.

CTMS will be used as an additional tool to attract the full spectrum of cyber talent from entry-level through senior executives, including technical subject-matter experts.  CTMS is meant to strengthen our cyber workforce by making it easier to bring in people with exceptional cyber skills.
