Prompt: 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.
The area that I want to focus my career on would be the “Protection and Defense” category. Jobs in this category that I am interested in would involve digital forensics and incident response. I believe I would enjoy the investigative aspect of cybersecurity incidents to understand how they happened and new protections based on these findings. For this reason, I also think I would like careers under the “Investigation” category as well. The area that I find the least appealing is the “Oversight and Governance” category. Although these roles seem interesting, I do not want to be on the administrative or management side of cybersecurity. Instead, I would prefer a more hands-on role where I could be closely involved in the cybersecurity incident investigation process.
