Cybersecurity job titles are not one fixed role
NIST's NICE Framework describes cybersecurity work through tasks, knowledge, skills, competency areas, and work roles. NIST also cautions that a work role is not the same thing as a job title or occupation. One employer may advertise an ISSO, cyber systems engineer, security architect, vulnerability analyst, network defender, or information-security manager for overlapping work.
That variation is why this page uses explicit employer cyber wording rather than assigning every listing to a new Cleared Colorado role taxonomy. Search the complete posting for the tasks and qualifications, then confirm the employer's exact title and application requirements.

Clearance level and timing
Cyber qualifications
Technical scope
Workplace and classified duties
DoD's current 8140 FAQ says qualification requirements do not replace component-, command-, or community-specific requirements. A certification list or cyber work-role code also does not prove that an applicant holds the clearance required by a posting.

Employer and workplace counts overlap when one posting names multiple Colorado locations. They describe the current matched inventory, not employer headcount or the complete state cyber workforce.
Can you apply without an active clearance?
Apply only when the employer's complete requirements fit your situation. “Active required” normally means the source expects the stated eligibility at the required time. “May be obtainable” means the source explicitly permits some later clearance timing, but it does not guarantee selection, sponsorship, an interim decision, final eligibility, or a start date.
