The program will train the next generation of cyber defenders to protect critical infrastructure.

Siemens Energy, Inc. and a group of non-profit and academic organizations announced a consortium to establish a new industrial cybersecurity apprenticeship program to defend critical infrastructure. The Cybersecurity & Industrial Infrastructure Security Apprenticeship Program (CIISAp) was launched with five other founding members, including ICS Village, Inc., Regional Economic Development for Eastern Idaho (REDI), MISI Academy, Capitol Technology University, SANS Institute, and Idaho State University (ISU), who will collectively design and run an apprenticeship program that links rigorous academic classes and educational training with real-world job rotations at leading industrial companies.

该计划将培训下一代网络防御者以保护关键基础设施。

西门子能源公司和一群非营利和学术组织宣布成立一个财团，以建立一个新的工业网络安全学徒计划，以保护关键基础设施。 网络安全和工业基础设施安全学徒计划 (CIISAp) 与其他五个创始成员一起启动，包括 ICS Village, Inc.、爱达荷州东部区域经济发展 (REDI)、MISI 学院、国会科技大学、SANS 研究所和爱达荷州立大学 (ISU)，他们将共同设计和运行一个学徒计划，将严格的学术课程和教育培训与领先工业公司的实际工作轮换联系起来。

The Memorandum of Understanding aims to prepare the next generation of cyber defenders needed to protect the digitally connected energy systems and critical infrastructure assets from the increasing threat of cyber threats. The four-year program will enable apprentices to apply their technical industrial cybersecurity education with moderate computer skills, and gain the hands-on experience and knowledge needed to fill existing cybersecurity vacancies that currently pay above $90,000 per year. The apprenticeship program is expected to accept its first cohort in fall 2022.

该谅解备忘录旨在培养下一代网络防御者，以保护数字连接的能源系统和关键基础设施资产免受日益增加的网络威胁威胁。 该为期四年的计划将使学徒能够应用具有中等计算机技能的技术工业网络安全教育，并获得填补目前每年支付超过 90,000 美元的现有网络安全职位空缺所需的实践经验和知识。 学徒计划预计将在 2022 年秋季接收第一批学生。

“There is a serious shortage of cybersecurity talent in today’s marketplace across a number of industries, and by working in partnership with likeminded organizations we can make inroads into building a strong workforce for the years to come,” said Rich Voorberg, president of Siemens Energy North America. “Critical infrastructure in the U.S. has digitized rapidly, and we need to move quickly to secure our future.”

西门子能源总裁 Rich Voorberg 表示：“当今市场上，许多行业的网络安全人才严重短缺，通过与志同道合的组织合作，我们可以在未来几年建立一支强大的劳动力队伍。” 北美。 “美国的关键基础设施已迅速数字化，我们需要迅速采取行动以确保我们的未来。”
