The increasing prevalence of cyber threats highlight the critical need for the Department of War to have a capable and ready cyber workforce. The Department's approach features the implementation of a holistic talent management strategy codified in the DoW 8140 Cyber Workforce Qualification Program, featuring an agile and responsive framework that will drive innovation and development across the cyber workforce. Through the DoW 8140, the Department is expanding the qualification program from less than 9,000 positions to roughly 240,000 military, civilian, and contractor positions by establishing foundational and residential qualification criteria for each DoW Cyber Workforce Framework work role.
