The framework establishes an “authoritative lexicon based on the work an individual is performing, not their position titles, occupational series, or designator.”

Defense Department CIO John Sherman on Wednesday publicly issued the DOD Cyber Workforce Framework after months of previewing the new lexicon for defense personnel who perform IT and cybersecurity-related roles.

The framework builds on the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE) Cybersecurity Workforce Framework and DOD’s Joint Cyberspace Training and Certification Standards to establish an “authoritative lexicon based on the work an individual is performing, not their position titles, occupational series, or designator.”

This is meant to allow the Pentagon to better track its workforce performing IT and cyber-based work, which has been difficult previously because that work often falls under traditional military and defense job titles that do not immediately identify that work.
