CYbersecurity aCadEmy foR educatiOn and experieNcE
CYCERONE is a pivotal European platform for cybersecurity education and professional development. Its mission is to offer a unified access point for diverse learners – focusing on SMEs and public sectors – to enhance their cybersecurity skills.
The initiative aims to amplify the reach of higher education institutions and professional training providers in cybersecurity through strategic marketing and dissemination within the Cybersecurity Skills Academy, connecting to existing available tools, such as the EU Digital Skills and Jobs Platform and ENISA’s CyberHEAD Database. This endeavor aims to mitigate the cybersecurity talent gap in Europe by making skilled professionals more accessible across various industry sectors. The project will facilitate collaboration between academia and the private and public sector, establishing a dedicated digital academy to centralize and democratize access to cybersecurity training. By innovating and diversifying training programs and courses, CYCERONE intends to address the specific needs of its target demographics while ensuring the academy’s offerings remain aligned with market demands through constant evaluation and adaptation.
Additionally, the initiative will provide online, hybrid and on-the-job training opportunities in different EU languages, foster innovation and entrepreneurship within cybersecurity education, and emphasize ethical technology use. This comprehensive approach aims not just to fill the existing skills gap but to foster a culture of innovation and ethical responsibility within the European cybersecurity sector.
The project is coordinated by EIT Digital, while the consortium is comprised by 16 organizations from 10 EU countries.
