Federal scientists Wednesday published a draft “dictionary” aiming to help businesses figure out whom they should hire, with the guide describing every kind of cybersecurity job and cataloging the knowledge and skills needed to do them well.
The draft framework says it aims to provide American companies with a “common, consistent lexicon to categorize and describe cybersecurity work.” Additionally, it will be used by every federal agency to catalog the U.S. government’s own cyber workforce by the end of next year.
