What this bill would do

The Expanding Cybersecurity Workforce Act of 2025 seeks to create a new program within the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). This program aims to promote the cybersecurity field to various disadvantaged communities, including veterans, women, and racial or ethnic minorities. The Director of CISA is tasked with establishing this program within 180 days of enactment. The initiative includes outreach to various institutions to raise awareness about the cybersecurity workforce. Additionally, the program must be tailored to specific regions and sectors across the country.
