I am so excited about this new bill! It's about time we modernize our cybersecurity hiring practices. With this, we can bring in more qualified individuals to help protect our country from cyber threats. This bill will not only benefit our nation as a whole, but it will also create more job opportunities for people like me who are looking to work in the cybersecurity field. I can't wait to see the positive impact this will have on our country's security.
