To date there is a lack of common understanding of the concepts, principles and applications of cybersecurity for each cyber career category, specialty, level and function.
- This lack of a common understanding leaves our nation’s networks and assets vulnerable to cyber-attacks that risk our national security.
- There are simply not enough highly skilled cybersecurity professionals to meet the growing demand needed to ensure the critical work to secure our nation’s systems and assets with competence.
- Without a defined cybersecurity career path or commonly accepted standard to outline the necessary cybersecurity skills required of both technical and managerial staff, how can Federal agency leadership feel confident that the right people are in the right jobs doing the right thing?
- The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) has adopted a framework to address these concerns, but development and implementation requires collaboration amongst federal agencies, industry and academia in order to achieve meaningful results in an acceptable timeframe. Learn more about NICE Initiatives here.
Cypherpath solutions empower government organizations to build strong foundations upon which NICE initiatives can be built to dynamically increase cybersecurity technical capabilities. Via our unique Precision Path Learning Platformâ„ , Cypherpath is the first to offer a continuous learning model mapped to the National framework of cybersecurity career categories, specialties, levels and functions.
