NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity

The NICE Framework represents some of the categories that all cybersecurity jobs fall into. There are a significant number of areas the NICE Framework covers. Protection and Defense is the area I would like to focus on for the start of my cybersecurity career. This is one of the more interesting parts of cybersecurity to me. I would like to start my career in cybersecurity as a SOC analyst. I would monitor, analyze and respond to various cyber threats, vulnerabilities and security issues to prevent attacks. Overall, I would like to learn defensive and offensive strategies in cybersecurity. The area that appeals to me the least would be the management side. Being a manager or in a leadership position would only appeal to me under certain circumstances.
