The Cal Secure plan calls for a unified framework for cybersecurity professionals, and a desire to make all state employees aware of common security threats. Articulating the specific roles/knowledge requirements of cybersecurity professionals has allowed companies that specialize in training to formulate lessons that meet the State’s standards. Skillsoft is an educational technology company that has formulated trainings to meet the state’s criteria for cybersecurity professionals and for baseline cybersecurity classes.
