A Guide to the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (2.0) presents a comprehensive discussion of the tasks, knowledge, skill, and ability (KSA) requirements of the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework 2.0. It discusses in detail the relationship between the NICE framework and the NIST’s cybersecurity framework (CSF), showing how the NICE model specifies what the particular specialty areas of the workforce should be doing in order to ensure that the CSF’s identification, protection, defense, response, or recovery functions are being carried out properly. The authors construct a detailed picture of the proper organization and conduct of a strategic infrastructure security operation, describing how these two frameworks provide an explicit definition of the field of cybersecurity. The book is unique in that it is based on well-accepted standard recommendations rather than presumed expertise. It is the first book to align with and explain the requirements of a national-level initiative to standardize the study of information security. Moreover, it contains knowledge elements that represent the first fully validated and authoritative body of knowledge (BOK) in cybersecurity. The book is divided into two parts: The first part is comprised of three chapters that give you a comprehensive understanding of the structure and intent of the NICE model, its various elements, and their detailed contents. The second part contains seven chapters that introduce you to each knowledge area individually. Together, these parts help you build a comprehensive understanding of how to organize and execute a cybersecurity workforce definition using standard best practice.

This publication describes the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework (NWF), the product of many years of collaboration regarding workforce training and education. The NWF, as a working document, provides a fundamental reference resource for describing and sharing information about cybersecurity work roles andthe knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) needed to complete tasks in those work roles. As a common, consistent lexicon that categorizes and describes cybersecurity work, the NWF improves communication about how to identify, recruit, develop, and retain cybersecurity talent. The NWF is a reference source from which organizations or sectors can develop additional publications or tools focused on defining or providing guidance on aspects of workforce development, planning, training, and education.

Book 1: Cybersecurity Capability Maturity Model White Paper - Cybersecurity is a leading national security challenge facing this country today. An emerging topic of importance is how organizations track, assess, grow, and shape their workforce. Many organizations have turned to workforce planning as a way to understand their current cybersecurity human capital skills and abilities as well as potential infrastructure needs. The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) evolved from the Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI), Initiative 8 - Expand Cyber Education, to develop a technologically-skilled and cyber-savvy workforce with the right knowledge and skills. Towards these ends, Component 3 of NICE is focused on the cybersecurity Workforce Structure - specifically talent management and the role of workforce planning in developing the national cybersecurity workforce. NICE has initiated discussions and issued guidance on workforce planning for cybersecurity best practices. In spring 2012, NICE published a white paper titled: Best Practices for Planning a Cybersecurity Workforce1, which introduces workforce planning methodologies for cybersecurity. This White Paper introduces a qualitative management tool, a Cybersecurity Workforce Planning Capability Maturity Model, to help organizations apply the best practice elements of workforce planning in analyzing their cybersecurity workforce requirements and needs.

Organizations must have a clear understanding of their cybersecurity human capital skills and abilities as well as potential infrastructure needs to ensure protection against threats to information systems. Today, the cybersecurity community has evolved enough to define a National Cybersecurity Workforce Framework for understanding specialty areas of cybersecurity work and workforce needs. As a result, the field has reached a maturity level that enables organizations to inventory current capabilities. Next, as the nation seeks to build a skilled cybersecurity workforce, it will be necessary for organizations to mature further and begin forecasting future demand for the cybersecurity workforce.

Professionalizing the Nation's Cybersecurity Workforce? Criteria for Decision-Making considers approaches to increasing the professionalization of the nation's cybersecurity workforce. This report examines workforce requirements for cybersecurity and the segments and job functions in which professionalization is most needed; the role of assessment tools, certification, licensing, and other means for assessing and enhancing professionalization; and emerging approaches, such as performance-based measures. It also examines requirements for the federal (military and civilian) workforce, the private sector, and state and local government. The report focuses on three essential elements: (1) understanding the context for cybersecurity workforce development, (2) considering the relative advantages, disadvantages, and approaches to professionalizing the nation's cybersecurity workforce, and (3) setting forth criteria that can be used to identify which, if any, specialty areas may require professionalization and set forth criteria for evaluating different approaches and tools for professionalization. Professionalizing the Nation's Cybersecurity Workforce? Criteria for Decision-Making characterizes the current landscape for cybersecurity workforce development and sets forth criteria that the federal agencies participating in the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education-as well as organizations that employ cybersecurity workers-could use to identify which specialty areas may require professionalization and to evaluate different approaches and tools for professionalization.
