Career profiles use the current NIST NICE Framework Components where applicable and clearly distinguish job-title mappings from NICE Competency Areas and work outside the current NICE catalog. Share individual pages with students or use them as classroom career-exploration resources.
The Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) provides a common language for describing cybersecurity work and capabilities. NICE Work Roles are not the same thing as employer job titles, so this site labels a career page as a Work Role mapping where a job title aligns to a Work Role. Cloud Security, AI Security, and DevSecOps are shown as Competency Areas. Cyber Operator is kept as a career page but is clearly marked as having no current NICE Work Role. Every mapping is published in full so it can be checked.
