Managing cyber security talent

This page is a resource for cyber security and human resource managers who need to define or refine roles or tasks in their organisation, or to recruit.

Defining and refining organisational roles

The Cyber Career Framework provides information on the roles, tasks, skills, knowledge, job titles and salaries associated with each of the 16 cyber security specialisms.

Core and cyber-enabled roles

The introduction to each of the 16 specialisms describes what it is like to work in that role. Each of those specialisms is a core cyber security role — meaning it is very largely or purely focused on cyber security.

Many people involved in the management of cyber security processes do so as part of another role: a cyber-enabled role. Often, this falls to someone working in an IT department as a network engineer or a system administrator.

If you're looking to hire to a role in cyber security, you may want to consider applicants already working in such cyber-enabled roles, as well as those from core cyber security roles.
