Journal #1- 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.Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) | NICCS (cisa.gov)

The NICE Workforce Framework, otherwise known as the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education, is a foundation/a sort of helping environment that works to increase the size and capability of the cybersecurity workforce. The areas that interest me or appeal to me the most are threat analysis and all-source analysis. All source analysis is when you analyze threat information from multiple sources, disciplines, and agencies across the intelligence community. All-Source Analysis appeals to me because I know that I can handle and have the ability to evaluate, analyze, and synthesize large amounts of data that may be presented to me. Threat Analysis identifies and assesses the capabilities and activities of cybersecurity criminals or foreign intelligence entities. This also appeals to me highly, as I am interested in identifying threats as well as gathering information about a potential attack before it even happens. An area that appeals to me least is targets. Targets apply to current knowledge of one or more regions, countries, non-state entities, and/or knowledge. Although it sounds interesting, it takes a lot to have knowledge about regions and countries.
