The Army needs more personnel for its ambitious plan to fend off cyberattacks by high-tech enemies, according to the Government Accountability Office.
The Army has rushed to meet the threat of cyber and electronic warfare from China, Russia and other potential adversaries, but the plan's accelerated schedule has gotten ahead of the training and equipment needed for implementation, the GAO said in a report released Thursday.
In short, the Army needs more troops with cyber skills to fill the ranks of the specialized units being created to meet the threat, but there's stiff competition from the higher-paying private sector.
