Abstract

In 2022, there were more than 4,100 data breaches that were brought to public attention, which resulted in nearly 22 billion people's information being compromised. When compared to 2021, when the number of cybersecurity specialists stood at 2.72 million, this shows a significant rise in the severity of the problem. Many businesses run the danger of having their organizations put at a “moderate” or “severe” risk of being attacked by cybercriminals due to a lack of workers. This study explores the value of cybersecurity skill and workforce development programs in high schools, especially those on Native American reservations, rural areas, urban areas, and low-income areas.
