In addition, the common framework will help current cybersecurity staff, educators and students considering a career in the field speak to each other in a more detailed, descriptive and consistent way, assisting in career planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The NCWF identifies the cybersecurity workforce as seven high-level categories, which are made of up of more than 30 specialty areas and more than 50 work roles defined by extensive sets of related knowledge, skills, abilities and tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The terminology of the NCWF will inform how the federal government identifies its cybersecurity workforce \u2014\u00a0as directed by the Federal Cybersecurity Workforce Assessment Act of 2015\u00a0\u2014\u00a0and has already been incorporated into the CyberSeek jobs map and Career Pathways opportunity availability and planning tools announced Nov. 1 at the NICE Conference and Expo in Kansas City, Missouri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p
