Review the NICE Workforce Framework. Explain which areas would appeal the most to you and which would appeal the least. Are there certain areas that you would want to focus your career on? you would want to focus your career on? Explain which areas would appeal the most to you and which would appeal the least.

When reviewing the NICE Framework mostly all of these could pertain to what I am looking into. Since I am looking at the broader area of cyber security instead of individual jobs that could suffice. Meaning I have not yet settled on an area because how much there is within this field. While learning about Human Behavior and how it effects Cyber Security, I have also learned that there are much wider range of positions.

Yet the ones that jump out more than the others would be; Protect and Defend and Securely Provision. With Protect and Defend it seems like you are the front lines of security. You are doing what you can to anticipate and defend against cyber attacks. Though when they already happen, they are there responding and making sure nothing important was taken. As for Securely Provision, you are trying to build the wall that separates the information you are protecting and the hackers trying to take it from you. You are more in charge of what needs to happen within the security to mitigate any vulnerabilities that were caught in some type analysis.

Though I would still work in these areas, Investigate and Analyze are both areas where you would be reviewing information to see whether or not it is useful. Though Investigate seems to dig a bit deeper by evaluating events/crimes that may have seemed suspicious. For example, an attack happened and a folder of data was missing but only that folder was taken until a Incident Response team was able to take out the threat from creating further problems. The investigate team would look into what bit of information was take and why. They would also looking into the response team and see how/why they allowed that information to be taken. Though these are lower on my list of areas I would be interested in, having a job in this area would not be a problem to me.

The areas I would mostly focus my career on would be Protect and Defend. Jobs within this area like Incident Response and Cyber Defense Infrastructure Support seem like jobs I may have interest when the time comes. Helping organizations especially to limit loses, restore their systems, and minimizing damage done seems like a fine job.
