“We have seen this in the past when we’ve gone to communities and open data centers in rural communities,” he said. Pichai said there are currently more than 650,000 open cybersecurity jobs and there is a need for a diverse workforce to address the issue. “I’m grateful to Google for building on their commitment to support the growth of a workforce necessary to do everything from securing critical infrastructure in local communities to bolstering our national security.” “Small businesses literally can lose hundreds of thousands of dollars every year,” Castro said. Joaquin Castro of Texas said Google’s initiative helps democratize cybersecurity, providing more employment opportunities and more protection to those not located in Silicon Valley.

“We must all embrace the idea of becoming lifelong learners.” “We need to incentivize students to pursue careers in fields like cybersecurity to reverse that trend,” he said. He added that China will likely produce twice as many computer science students with doctoral degrees this year than the United States. Jay Obernolte of California said addressing cyber threats is essential to the country’s economic competitiveness as well as national security.

Google’s announcement had support from Congressional members on both sides of the aisle. “We’ve been building security from the ground up for a long time and training to innovate and stay ahead.” “Making sure we protect and safeguard both the consumer services and the enterprises services we provide is foundational to the company, which is why we treat it as such,” Pichai told The Associated Press in an interview after the announcement.
