NIST release the new NICE Framework v1.0.01

Post Date:03/29/2024

The March 5, 2024 release of the NICE Framework Components Version 1.0.01 consolidates a series of updates that have been underway since the publication of the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education Workforce Framework for Cybersecurity (NICE Framework) (NIST SP 800-181r1) in November 2020.

In addition to incorporating structural changes outlined in SP 800-181r1—notably, the addition of Competency Areas and the deprecation of Specialty Areas and Ability statements—the covered updates include:

● Refactoring of Ability statements (published for comment December 2021)

● Updates to Knowledge and Skill statements (published for comment April 2022)

● Updates to Work Roles and Work Role Categories (published for comment April 2023)

● Updates to Competency Areas (second draft published for comment June 2023)

● Updates to Task statements (published for comment November 2023)

 Version 1.0.0 of the NICE Framework components is the first, official published version since 2017. The NICE Program Office intends to take a software update versioning approach for NICE Framework components, with a mix of minor and major updates over time. While users of the NICE Framework are always encouraged to reference the most recent published version of the components, users may choose to continue using older versions. Please note that outdated versions may not be supported by the NICE Program Office. A record of versions and release notes can be found on the NICE Framework History and Change Logs webpage in the NICE Framework Resource Center.
