    Study Notes

    The Need for More Security Professionals

    • Increasing demand for skilled security professionals due to rising cyber threats.
    • Organizations must strengthen their workforce to enhance security posture.

    Applying NIST NICE Framework to Your Organization

    • Task Statements: Define work that must be performed to achieve organizational goals.

      • Examples include configuring network equipment or setting up Apache service on Linux.
      • Distinct from knowledge and skills, focusing on actionable tasks.
    • Knowledge Statements: Relate to information required from memory to execute tasks.

      • Examples include familiarity with Cisco IOS and knowledge of threat mitigation strategies.
      • Can highlight previous experiences and different levels of expertise in the field (e.g., entry-level to managerial roles).
      • Relationships can be many-to-many, as multiple knowledge statements may apply to a single task.
    • Skill Statements: Demonstrate candidate’s ability to perform specific tasks.

      • Examples include configuring pfSense firewall for high availability and recognizing alerts from security information and event management (SIEM) systems.
      • Relevant in post-incident processes like after-action reviews and root cause analysis.
