Question: Review the NICE Workforce Framework. Are there certain areas that you would want to focus your career on? Explain which areas would appeal the most to you and which would appeal the least.
I believe that the specific areas that I would like to focus my career on would remain in the protection and defense section of the NICE framework. The specific areas that I would prefer to focus on would be incident response and vulnerability assessment and management. The reason why these two would be my preferred sections is because I have always wanted to be in the field of penetration testing and showing vulnerabilities in systems. The idea seemed cool when I first dipped my toes into the ideal but after watching a show called Mr. Robot I realized that while I wont be accessing some of the glamorous circles emphasized in the show, the act of being allowed to break and breach systems legally seemed really interesting and exciting. The least interesting section of the framework would likely be in the training, education, and awareness section of the framework. I have no interest in teaching others how to properly operate on the internet. I feel that I am in a career field and of a certain upbringing that internet safety and awareness is common sense to me and attempting to talk to each other about the topic would be rather frustrating.
