Thought I would pass this on to everyone on InfoSec News, it's the
follow up to the announcement of DHS getting authority to hire up to
1,000 more people in security.

DHS Holds Virtual Job Fair to Expand Cyber Workforce
Secretary Napolitano on Friday announced the launch of a virtual job
fair at www.dhs.gov/cyberjobfair to recruit cybersecurity experts --
capitalizing on the department's recently acquired authority to recruit
and hire up to 1,000 cybersecurity professionals over the next three
years.
Through the virtual job fair, DHS is looking for applicants with
experience in cyber risk and strategic analysis; malware/vulnerability
analysis; incident response; exercise facilitation and management;
vulnerability detection and assessment; intelligence analysis; and
cyber-related infrastructure interdependency analysis.
The new hiring authority, which results from a collaborative effort
between DHS, the Office of Personnel Management, and the Office of
Management and Budget, streamlines the hiring process to allow the
department to hire up to 1,000 positions over three years across DHS to
fulfill critical cybersecurity roles. Although DHS does not anticipate
the need to fill all 1,000 positions, this cap reflects the Obama
administration's commitment to building a world-class cyber organization
and competing for the nation's top cybersecurity talent.
"Effective cybersecurity is a shared responsibility between individuals,
communities, government and the private sector to protect our cyber
networks from terrorism and intrusion," said Secretary Napolitano. "The
virtual job fair will help us recruit top cyber analysts, developers and
engineers to serve their country by leading the nation's defenses
against cyber threats."
