The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Careers and Studies (NICCS) Workforce Framework is a comprehensive guide that outlines the skills, knowledge, and abilities required for various cybersecurity roles. An area within the Framework that I would like to focus my career on would be Cyber Defense Analysis. This role involves analyzing data from various sources to identify potential threats and vulnerabilities in an organization’s network. It requires critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of cybersecurity principles. As someone who enjoys solving complex puzzles and has a passion for technology, this area aligns perfectly with my interests. Other areas that interested me were Technology R&D, Test and Evaluation, and System Analysis. The area that appeals to me the least is Cyber Investigation. This doesn’t appeal to me as the skills needed for this area doesn’t interest me. It involves conducting forensic analysis on digital devices, which requires meticulous attention to detail and expertise in digital forensics.
