With a quick review over the NICE Workforce Framework, the portion that interested me the most was the idea of Cyber Defense and Incident Response. I like these the most becuase they let me protect systems and give me the benefit of responding to threats that are created in real time, which includes mitigating risks and making sure systems are secure. I really like the specific idea of being able to be on the front lines and securing against real world threats. The areas that interest me the least are areas like software development in the security world and related areas. These interest me the least because I am less interested in coding and would like to use more hands on tactics.

By using proper and real evidence, the principle of empiricism creates a stronger cyber security space by not using random guesses. Security teams will study data such as system logs, malware samples, and network traffic to grasp an understanding of new threats and unusual behavior and detect it or spot it early. This creates an environment where security teams can take a better understanding of attackers and how their methods change over time. The data can also show if the active security set up works. If there is less successful attacks after a new system is introduced, then it works, and if there are problems, then there is a change that needs to be made.
