Future starts NOW!
Choosing a career path is a daunting task, but do not worry, I am here to help you (and there are many more). Here are some of the best resources to guide and help you understand the different roles, profiles and requirements.
NICCS
Cyber Career Pathways Tool
National Initiative For Cybersecurity Careers and Studies
​
"This tool presents a new and interactive way to explore work roles within the Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework). It depicts the Cyber Workforce according to five distinct, yet complementary, skill communities. It also highlights core attributes among each of the 52 work roles and offers actionable insights for employers, professionals, and those considering a career in Cyber."
​
This is best resource that you can use to understand more about the work roles, resources, career planning, development and many more. I highly recommend to check it either if you are just at the beginning of the journey or just want to make a career change.
NICE Challenge Project

"We Bring students the workforce experience before the workforce"

The NICE Challenge Project develops real-world challenges within virtualized business environments that bring students the workforce experience before the workforce. Our goal is to provide the most realistic experiences to students, at-scale year-round, while also generating useful assessment data about their knowledge, skills, and abilities for educators.
UK Cyber Security Council
"Details include an introduction to each specialism, information on the typical responsibilities and tasks, the skills and knowledge required, and information on useful prior experience for those hoping to enter the specialism from outside cyber security. Information also includes a list of common job titles and average salary ranges."
