On December 17, 2020, the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) kicked-off the new ad-hoc working group in response to the European Skills Agenda.
The creation of the new working group, which is meant to support the development of a Cybersecurity Education and Skills Framework in response to the European Skills Agenda, aims to address the cybersecurity workforce shortage and skills gap problem, a major concern for both economic development and security, especially in the rapid digitisation of the global economy.
In particular, the purpose of the ad-hoc working group is to:
- advise ENISA on defining the criteria for a European Cybersecurity Skills Framework.
- support the analysis of other existing initiative cybersecurity related frameworks with respect to the defined criteria.
- assist in identifying gaps in already developed European Cybersecurity Skills Framework.
- assist in conducting a SWOT analysis for a European Cybersecurity Skills Framework.
- review of related ENISA deliverables.
- assist in the preparation of the European Skills Framework.
