Navy Department Chief Information Officer Robert Carey writes at the Navy CIO Blog about the future of the federal cybersecurity and IT workforce. Carey offers some perspective on how to move the workforce into the information age and deliver more effective IT in support of mission needs, largely through embracing technology and keeping skill sets current, learning new ways to move information, leveraging social media as a tool to build trust, recognizing the need for and embracing security, implementing telework and other mobile workforce initiatives to support environmental goals, and touting the reward of working in naval services in order to recruit the next generation of IT workers.
