Guide for skills development - organizations in the public and private sector

Cyberattacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated and serious. Hackers can exploit vulnerabilities in networks or systems to steal sensitive information or sabotage operations. By having sufficient knowledge and skills in cybersecurity, organizations can understand and anticipate potential threats and take appropriate measures to prevent and protect themselves from attacks.

Customer trust is critical to the success of organizations. If customers and business partners do not feel safe handing over their personal data or business information to an organization, it can lead to deteriorated customer relations and lost business opportunities. By investing in cybersecurity expertise, you can demonstrate that you take security seriously and build trust with your stakeholders.

Do you work in any of these areas and feel you want more knowledge in the area? Or maybe it's the whole team that needs to gain skills to ensure you are protected against future cyber attacks?

Here is Cybercampus' guide to ensure competence development in cyber security.

1: Define your needs

To ensure effective and relevant skills development, organizations need to assess their needs and identify areas where there are skills gaps. It is important for your organization to find out what you actually need.

2: Set the right levels and have realistic expectations

To increase the success factor, it is important to have realistic expectations. Find out if the level requirements of your recruiters correspond to what the professional believes is needed. Also, ensure that the expectations of how the training can contribute to the organization's success are realistic and clearly communicated.
