The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency this week announced the availability of a free tool designed to help users identify and navigate a potential career path in cyber.
The new Cyber Career Pathways Tool focuses on five workforce categories: IT, cybersecurity, cyber effects, cyber intelligence, and cross functional.
The Cyber Career Pathways Tool also provides a list of the top 5 related roles based on the tasks, knowledge, skills and abilities they share.
CISA says the tool, which is based on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, has been developed in collaboration with the Interagency Federal Cyber Career Pathways Working Group, which includes CISA, the Defense Department, and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
CISA hopes that the new tool will be useful to individuals interested in starting a cyber career and people who want to advance in their career.
