The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), aims to address the critical shortage of cybersecurity professionals in the United States. It focuses on developing a robust cybersecurity workforce by promoting cybersecurity education and training across all levels, from K-12 to higher education and professional development. NICE provides a framework, the NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework, to define cybersecurity work and identify the skills needed for various roles, fostering collaboration between government, academia, and industry to create a pipeline of qualified talent capable of defending national digital infrastructure.
