One must not underestimate the authority of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) in shaping the future of cybersecurity risk management in the U.S. The OPM sets the HR strategy for Federal government and in this case is pitching a legislative proposal to give Federal agencies more flexibility over how they hire and renumerate cybersecurity jobs.

Federal government agencies compete between themselves and private sector for skilled and experienced cybersecurity talent. Often times with the private sector is offering higher renumeration packages. Securing new and retaining existing talent is critical and comes at a time when cybersecurity risks are rising across U.S Federal Agencies.

We aren’t just competing with the private sector, she said last year. Oftentimes, we are competing with ourselves… DHS can pay for more for cyber talent, leaving other agencies at a competitive disadvantage.
