What's the right percentage of its budget a year that a public library should spend on cybersecurity? 10%? More or less?

If only we could have some kind of jobs program where the government could pay people to fix their crap. A side benefit would be a reduction in unemployment.

There are no unemployed cybersecurity professionals (who are qualified). There is likely a fraction of a percent who are "Between jobs" and that's about it. It's still very difficult to find and hire qualified candidates, even despite the recent surge in programmers making the leap.
