IT Security's Future Rests with Young
Ethics Must Play Big Role in IT Security TrainingPelgrin, in an interview with GovInfoSecurity.com's Eric Chabrow, says the IT security training needs to start early, not only in math, science and technology, but ethics, too. "If we build that in, that culture in from the beginning, high school level through college through graduate school, we will have a workforce that can meet that demand, the need that's out there."
In the interview, Pelgrin also discusses how New York and other states are meeting the challenge of securing IT when government budgets being extremely tight.
After years as New York's top IT security official, Pelgrin left government service to become CEO and president of the Center for Internet Security, a newly formed, not-for-profit enterprise aimed at helping organizations reduce the risk of business and e-commerce disruptions resulting from inadequate technical security controls.
