S TRATEGIC O BJECTIVE 3.4: E NHANCE I NTERNATIONAL E NGAGEMENTS Global connectivity brings tremendous opportunities for increased prosperity, but it also brings great risks. Malign activity can easily cross borders, and technologies essential to our society are increasingly online. Building a robust, secure, and resilient cyberspace that advances our values will require extensive cooperation with America’s partners and allies around the world. America’s global partnerships are critical national resources, and we should more fully realize their potential. To advance America’s cyber workforce development, we will exchange cyber workforce development best practices with international partners. As discussed in the NCS, the federal government will also engage in efforts to strengthen the capacity of like-minded states and grow the global cyber workforce. Lines of Effort 3.4.1 Collaborate with international partners and allies on workforce development best practices. The Department of State and NICE will continue to lead international collaboration on cyber workforce development best practices. Where possible, these efforts will build on NICE’s ongoing work to broaden use of the NICE Framework, including with Five Eyes Partners and the Global Forum on Cyber Expertise.98 ONCD will foster alignment of federal activities and enhance public– private partnerships related to international cyber workforce development. 3.4.2 Include cyber workforce development in U.S. capacity-building efforts abroad. The Department of State will lead to ensure international capacity-building priorities are strategically aligned and advance the interests of the United States and its allies and partners. ONCD will support the Department of State and USAID in these efforts. We will look for opportunities to incorporate cyber workforce development into capacity-building initiatives across federal departments and agencies and foster collaboration with public and private sector actors.
