From what I researched collected Cyber operations appeals to me because I am very drawn to hands-on technical challenges and having an active engagement with technology and the digital online world, and I believe this can help me handle and tackle taking down cyber threats. It mainly involves the deployment of advanced security measures playing a crucial role in incident response, and identifying and mitigating the impact of security breaches. Ethical hacking seems fun breaking through integral components, allowing us to creatively use our technical skills to take down our systems to strengthen security postures. The reason I chose to focus on this as my career path is because I feel it aligns with my skills, interests, and career goals. Offers unique challenges and opportunities, so exploring this path helps me figure out and explore what I’m passionate about and where my strengths lie within the cybersecurity field. What would appeal the least to me seems to be Network Services within the NICE (National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education) framework due to its nature of focusing on the routine aspects of maintaining and operating network systems doing routine maintenance and troubleshooting as it involves repetitive operational tasks rather than actively engaging with complex security threats.
