Massive personnel shortage threatens new Trump plan: analysis

After a lengthy delay, President Donald Trump released a national cybersecurity strategy on Friday afternoon — and, as one critic observed, it seems at odds with the reality of America “hemorrhaging cyber-talent.”Trump’s strategy is "impressively underachieving, even by the abysmal standards this Ad...
