Explore 31 cybersecurity career profiles covering defensive operations, investigation, secure development, governance, cloud, AI, privacy, OT, and support. Profiles use the current NIST NICE Framework Components v2.2.0 where applicable, and clearly separate job-title mappings from Competency Areas and work that sits outside the current NICE catalog.
Try a shorter term, a NICE Work Role name, or a code such as PD-WRL-007. You can also browse the full NICE Framework mapping.
Cybersecurity includes far more than a single “hacker” career. These profiles help students compare technical, investigative, operational, development, privacy, governance, management, and research pathways in one place.
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.
