AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of Defense to set up a program that works with colleges and universities to develop cybersecurity education programs, including curriculum standards and community outreach. The Secretary would consult with the NSA, CISA, NIST, FBI, and National Science Foundation so federal cyber education efforts do not compete or conflict. The Secretary would designate qualifying schools in cyber defense, cyber operations, or cyber research based on listed criteria, including regional accreditation. The Secretary would report to Congress each year on the program's benefits compared to its costs. The bill does not authorize additional funding for the program.
