European Cybersecurity Skills Conference 2026
Bringing together stakeholders from across the EU cybersecurity skills landscape, the conference will provide a forum for sharing experiences, discussing emerging challenges, and highlighting approaches to cybersecurity skills development.
Key topics include:
- The ongoing revision of the European Cybersecurity Skills Framework (ECSF), with updates intended to reflect secure digital product lifecycles, emerging technologies such as AI, and recent EU policy and legislative developments. The revision also introduces proficiency levels to support skills definition, career progression, training pathways, and workforce assessment.
- European initiatives related to skills recognition, including the proposed attestation of cybersecurity skills, which aims to improve transparency, comparability, trust, and professional mobility across Europe.
