The National Security Agency is on a hiring blitz. The cryptologic intelligence agency — home to the government’s chief codemakers and breakers — announced its intention to hire as many as 3,000 people over the next two years, many of them cybersecurity experts.
In fact, NSA recruiters even took a trip to Las Vegas in the last few weeks to look for potential hires at DefCon, a high-profile hacker conference there.
Dickie George, the technical director of the Information Assurance Directorate at NSA, told the Federal Drive the agency is partnering with academia and industry to find the “best and brightest” in cybersecurity.
“We really need people who can solve hard problems,” George said. “And network security is one of the hardest problems around.”
