Below is the list of the NICE Workforce Categories ranked in the most interesting order to me.

  1. PROTECT AND DEFEND
  2. INVESTIGATE
  3. ANALYZE
  4. OPERATE AND MAINTAIN
  5. SECURELY PROVISION
  6. COLLECT AND OPERATE
  7. OVERSEE AND GOVERN
    The “Protect and Defend” category is the most interesting to me, specifically the specialty area of
    incident response. I enjoy the rush of responding to urgent situations and the emphasis on
    preservation.
    My second area of interest is “Investigate,” particularly in the specialty of cyber investigation.
    The process of learning and investigating through surveillance, counter-surveillance, and
    interrogation intrigues me, as it involves gaining intelligence on various situations.
    The third category that interests me is “Analyze.” I find it fascinating to sort through data and
    identify exploitation areas.
    The category that interests me the least is “Oversee and Govern.” While I respect the leadership
    that maintains order, management is not a field that I am particularly keen on.
