Businesses seek to fill gap in U.S. STEM talent

Few young Americans consider cybersecurity as a career choice, poll finds
Fewer than 1 in 4 young adults have expressed an interest in pursuing a career in cybersecurity, according to a study commissioned by Raytheon that finds millennials are beginning to implement basic security measures but lack a broader knowledge of the field.
