The logical place to begin our mapping exercise was to the CAE KUs, since the NICE Framework influenced development of the CAE Knowledge Units (KUs), and the DoD Cybersecurity Workforce Development Framework will also consider the NICE Framework.. Jones & Bartlett Learning will continue to monitor development of the DoD CWDF and map appropriate components to ISSA courses () as necessary in the future. Additionally, we are reviewing efforts to map to the NICE Framework. Our goal was to help our customers, whether colleges and universities or technology training providers, identify the cybersecurity workforce skills to which our ISSA curriculum uniquely maps. We also wanted to ease the burden of meeting government mapping standards. Our ISSA course mappings thus add value in the following ways:
