Congress pushes Pentagon red team hackers into NSA-accredited universities
Original: United States • Congress wants Pentagon's 'red team' hackers in NSA-accredited universities
US Congress is moving to place Pentagon 'red team' hackers — specialists who test defences by attacking them — within universities accredited by the National Security Agency, according to Intelligence Online. The aim is to strengthen the pipeline of cybersecurity talent trained at NSA-designated institutions, drawing on military offensive-testing expertise for academic programmes.
Why now: Growing congressional concern over US cybersecurity workforce shortages and national security competition is driving interest in the proposal.
