SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title II,
Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C.
121(d)(1) To access, receive, and
analyze law enforcement information,
intelligence information and other
information from agencies of the Federal
Government, State and local
government agencies * * * and Private
sector entities and to integrate such
information in support of the mission
responsibilities of the Department. The
following authorities also permit DHS to
collect information of the type
contemplated: Federal Information
Security Management Act of 2002
(FISMA), 44 U.S.C. 3546; Homeland
Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)
7, ‘‘Critical Infrastructure Identification,
Prioritization, and Protection’’ (2003);
and NSPD–54/HSPD–23, ‘‘Cybersecurity
Policy’’ (2009).
In May 2009, the President ordered a
Cyberspace Policy Review to develop a
comprehensive approach to secure and
defend America’s infrastructure. The
review built upon the Comprehensive
National Cybersecurity Initiative (CNCI).
In response to increased cyber threats
across the Nation, the National Initiative
for Cybersecurity Education (NICE)
expanded from a previous effort, the
CNCI #8. NICE formed in March 2011,
and is a nationally coordinated effort
comprised of over 20 federal
departments and agencies, and
numerous partners in academia and
industry. NICE focuses on cybersecurity
awareness, education, training and
professional development. NICE seeks
to encourage and build cybersecurity
awareness and competency across the
Nation and to develop an agile, highly
skilled cybersecurity workforce.
The NICCS Portal is a national online
resource for cybersecurity awareness,

education, talent management, and
professional development and training.
NICCS Portal is an implementation tool
for NICE. Its mission is to provide
comprehensive cybersecurity resources
to the public.
To promote cybersecurity education,
and to provide a comprehensive
resource for the Nation, NICE developed
the Cybersecurity Training and
Education Catalog. The Cybersecurity
Training and Education Catalog will be
hosted on the NICCS Portal. Both
Training Course and Certification
information will be stored in the
Training Catalog.
Note: Any information received from
the public in support of the NICCS
Portal and Cybersecurity Training and
Education Catalog is completely
voluntary. Organizations and
individuals who do not provide
information can still utilize the NICCS
Portal and Cybersecurity Training and
Education Catalog without restriction or
penalty. An organization or individual
who wants their information removed
from the NICCS Portal and/or
Cybersecurity Training and Education
Catalog can email the NICCS
Supervisory Office (SO).
Department of Homeland Security
(DHS) Cybersecurity Education Office
(CEO) intends for the collected
information from the NICCS
Cybersecurity Training Course Form
and the NICCS Cybersecurity
Certification Form to be displayed on a
publicly accessible Web site called the
National Initiative for Cybersecurity
Careers and Studies (NICCS) Portal
(http://niccs.us-cert.gov/). Collected
information from the NICCS
Cybersecurity Training Course Form
and the NICCS Cybersecurity
Certification Form will be included in
the Cybersecurity Training and
Education Catalog. Both sets of
information will be made available to
the public to support the National
Initiative for Cybersecurity Education
(NICE) mission and the Comprehensive
National Cybersecurity Initiative
(CNCI)—Initiative 8: Expand Cyber
Education.
The DHS CEO NICCS Supervisory
Office will use information collected
from the NICCS Vetting Criteria Form to
primarily manage communications with
the training providers; this collected
information will not be shared with the
public and is intended for internal use
only. Additionally, this information will
be used to validate training providers
and certification owners before
uploading their training course or
certification information to the Training
Catalog.
