The National Archives continues to update an Electronic Records Archives that ensures today\'s digital records will be accessible to future generations. The $567 million dollar Electronic Records Archives - or ERA - is a place for federal agencies to put permanent records, which can be searched and reviewed. These are records that are \"born digital\" - such as emails and databases - and are, in fact, at a higher risk of being lost to history than the oldest parchment and paper documents. Today, the ERA holds close to 93 Terabytes, equivalent to over 23 billion pages of text, including the electronic records of the George W. Bush Administration. This summer, the system will become the repository for an estimated 488 terabytes of citizen responses that make up the 2010 Census. Under law, those will remain closed to the public for 72 years.

February 23rd, 2011 at 11 AM As cybersecurity threats loom, the Federal government\'s demand for cyber talent is expected to far exceed the nation\'s supply of qualified professionals, and its ability to compete with the private sector for that increasingly scarce talent is challenged by an overly complex hiring process, pay freezes, and little agreement on the skills necessary to do the job. Given the direct tie of cybersecurity to national and economic security, our government has no choice but to engage with the best, and brightest, thinkers and practitioners in this arena. How can agencies cope in this difficult environment? How can they either develop or access a top-notch pool of cyber professionals, and prepare the very best of those professionals to lead? These are difficult questions, but they are vital to our national cybersecurity; the cyber \'talent gap\' poses a serious threat to America\'s position as a global power, making it necessary for human capital and cyber experts across government agencies to come together to help the close that gap.
