Script

To group employers, CNM Cyber uses its own CNM industry classification or CNMIC. Because CNMIC doesn't try to describe all economic activities, it is way simpler than NAICS and ISIC. CNMIC features just 11 industries, while both NAICS and ISIC feature 20+ sectors and hundreds of sub-sectors.

Professional Specialties is the successor lectio.
