The areas of the NICE Workforce Framework that I would want to focus my career on
are protection and defense (PD) and possibly, cyberspace intelligence (CI). In the
protection and defense area, I find that identifying, analyzing risks and protecting
computer systems and networks appealing to me. A work role of this area that
appeals to me is defensive cybersecurity as I am analytical and investigative, and
these traits are beneficial to using various cybersecurity defense tools to collect
data for analysis to mitigate security risks. With regards to cyberspace intelligence, I
enjoy learning more about the threat actors’ cyberspace programs and what they
do. Furthermore, the most suitable work role for me is all-source analysis, which
involves learning about the threat actors’ cyberspace programs. The area of the
NICE framework that doesn’t appeal to me is oversight and governance (OG) as
providing leadership, management and direction aren’t my strengths.
