The Office of Personnel Management is giving agencies more options for classifying their cybersecurity workforces and vacant positions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

OPM issued guidance Oct. 15 that would help agencies identify and classify cybersecurity positions within their organizations while also authorizing the use of a new \u201cIT Cybersecurity Specialist\u201d job title for positions within the IT 2210 Management Series that do cybersecurity work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2210 series requires that employees have IT knowledge and competencies, while also mandating that the position itself must exist for the primary purpose of IT work and fulfils the IT mission of the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Employees that predominantly use technology for their jobs but do not develop, deliver or support agency IT systems are not considered part of the 2210 series.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
