The CADMUS project contributes to the overall Digital Europe Programme objectives by enhancing the quality and effectiveness of cybersecurity training across Europe, ensuring that training and education frameworks are developed, and data are aligned with both current and emerging cybersecurity needs.
This alignment is crucial for effectively addressing current and future market needs and facilitating appropriate workforce reskilling, upskilling, and cross-skilling. By establishing a centralized framework for skill mismatch analysis and forecasting, the initiative aims to streamline and integrate training efforts across Europe, enhancing coordination and ensuring that all training activities and opportunities are aligned with a unified set of goals.
Through these efforts, the project plays an integral role in reinforcing the overall CyberSecurity Skills Academy initiative, contributing to a unified European framework for action in cybersecurity skill development.
- Objective 1: Implement new training opportunities or scale up successful existing ones with a special focus on the needs of Small and Medium Size Enterprises (SMEs) and public administrations in the area of cybersecurity.
- Objective 2: The developed trainings will consider businesses’ needs and in particular facilitate access to cybersecurity talents for SMEs and start-ups across all sectors.
- Objective 3: To ensure the high levels of cybersecurity necessary for digital public administration, the trainings cater for the upskilling, reskilling and interdisciplinary understanding of cybersecurity for civil servants.
- Objective 4: The identification of relevant training courses, including bootcamps on specific cybersecurity topics, jointly vetted with industrial partners that will enhance employability of trainees or increase cybersecurity capabilities of public servants, communication actions for promoting the courses, and offer both theoretical underpinnings and hands-on experience for a diverse group of participants.
- Objective 5: The impact of the project will be elevated through the utilization of advanced on-line technologies along with the provision of a plethora of scenarios and AI-supported features. This will help make the training approaches more accessible, result in adaptive approaches offering personalized training at the optimal pace and facilitate flexibility in the writing and editing of scenarios and in updating their contents for increasing number of trainees.
- Objective 6: Harness the expertise and insights from of the national Cybersecurity Competence Centres (NCCs), in the framework of the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre (ECCC), is expected to address specific needs at national level, where significant variations exist as to the level of cybersecurity readiness.
- Objective 7: We contribute to the objectives and activities of the Cybersecurity Skills Academy, as set out in the Communication COM (2023) 207 final and implemented by the Commission, the ECCC and ENISA.
