Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) | NICCS (cisa.gov)

The NICE Workforce Framework is a well-packed and well-done resource for leaning about the cybersecurity workforce. The categories provide a variety of careers, and the descriptions are concise and detailed about the necessary skills and knowledge. Some of the areas that I want to focus on for my eventual career are Maintenance and Development. I plan to have a career in software development and these general areas could give me some insight into how everything will work. Moreover, it provides a creative outlook for me as the process will never be the same

A few of the specialty areas that appealed to me were Software Development, Systems Development, and Systems Administrator. The reason these areas appeal to me is that they allow me to experiment with systems to see how they work.

The specialty areas and categories that didn’t appeal to me were Cybersecurity Management, Executive Cyber Leadership, and Digital Forensics. They don’t appeal to me because I don’t see myself being able to fulfill the role of leader efficiently.
