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.
-In the field of cybersecurity, they’re many different roles and jobs that incorporate the workforce. The areas from the NICE Framework that appeal most to me are the categories of Investigate, Analyze, Operate and Maintain.
Out of all that I listed, the category of Investigate intrigues me the most as I believe working in Digital Forensics would suit my interest. It would be great to be a part of a team that works together to solve crimes in any digital investigation. The process of finding evidence and linking those clues together to form a greater picture sound fascinating to me, and I look forward to learning more about what the specialty entails. Next, I listed Analyze, as having the skill to analyze data is critical for this field. It is important to be able to identify abnormalities in data and then be capable of translating it into possible implications. This ties directly back to investigations as having this kind of skill is key in finding possible evidence in a case. Next category I listed is Operate and Maintain. I like the idea of managing a network and being a part of the process of installing, configuring, testing, and operating the hardware and software of a system.
The area that appeals to me the least would have to be the category of Collect and Operate as Cyber Operational Planning is part of reacting to foreign attacks. This is not to say I’ll never be interested in this part of cybersecurity, it’s just the category for now, that I find least appealing.
