Cybersecurity Enhancement Act, Federal Cyber Workforce
HR 2096, the Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2012, aims to build a federal cybersecurity workforce through university grants and scholarships. The bill also mandates a comprehensive strategy for the adoption of cloud computing by the federal government. Concerns are raised that this creates a "cyber army" of government-funded researchers and facilitates a "straight pipe" for the NSA into private cloud services.
