Instruction: 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.

Response: After reviewing the NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity. Vulnerability assessment and management (Protect and Defend) is an area that I want to focus my career on. This area deals with CVE’s, which are known vulnerabilities, and describes flaws in code which can be exploited by ethical or malicious hackers. This is just a small sub area of protecting and defending a network and its systems by identifying an issue and finding solutions. Out of the NICE Workforce Framework, the area that appeals the least to me would be Cybersecurity management (Oversee and Govern) as I’m in the early stages of my Cyber career and do not believe it is realistic for me to oversee other Cyber personnel at this time and it is a long term goal compared to the other areas.
