NIST published the NICE Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) to aid the development, recruitment and retention of the cybersecurity workforce. The NICE Framework provides a standard approach for describing the tasks, knowledge and skills needed to perform cybersecurity work, enabling a better understanding of talent needs and expectations. Jobseekers use the NICE Framework through tools, such as those provided by CyberSeek.org,76 to chart pathways for future learning and career advancement. Educators and trainers, in courses offered by, for instance, Temple University, use it to describe and map the curriculum to current marketplace demand, while employers use it to conduct workforce assessments and identify staffing gaps or to craft more accurate position descriptions and improve recruitment. For example, the NICE Framework Mapping Tool from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) measures alignment of job descriptions. The use of common terms and language helps to organize and communicate cybersecurity work. In this way, the NICE Framework has helped to simplify communications and provide improved clarity and consistency at all organizational levels – from an individual to a programme, organization and more.
