THE NICE PROGRAM AT THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF STANDARDS AND TECHNOLOGY (NIST)

NICE focuses on efforts to close the hiring gap in the cybersecurity workforce. We are led by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the U.S. Department of Commerce, and are a partnership between government, academia, and the private sector focused on cybersecurity education, training, and workforce development.

There are many ways to get involved. You can attend our events – the NICE Conference & Expo is held annually, typically in early June, and the NICE K12 Cybersecurity Education Conference is held annually in early December. The NICE Program Office also hosts free webinars as well as monthly working group meetings. Visit our about page for more information.

This project is supported by NICE, a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology in the U.S. Department of Commerce, under financial assistance award #70NANB22H102.
