Inside the Cyberspace Policy Review report that President Obama will unveil in moments at a White House press event is a call for an amped-up effort to get more of the USA's students trained to participate in the digital revolution.

A White House fact sheet released just prior to the president's remarks, says the report will recommend "increased education efforts" similar to those launced in math and science after the Russians beat the USA into space by launching Sputnik in 1957.

Acknowledging the serious theats that hackers pose to a nation that's increasingly dependent on computer technology, Obama will announce plans to name a White House cyberczar to coordinate security efforts.

The report that the president is unveiling now resulted from a 60-day review of the nation's cybersecurity by the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council.
