This article is part of our special report Cyber skills gap keeps widening, report warns.
Regulatory compliance, the disruption of Artificial Intelligence and international competition are just some issues regarding the lack of cyber skills in Europe and beyond.
Cybersecurity is an increasingly horizontal and urgent topic for policymakers, public authorities and industry practitioners in Europe. But as public bodies and private companies seek to upgrade their cybersecurity capacity, another problem emerges; the lack of relevant skills.
The EU has been working on a comprehensive set of cybersecurity laws, the Cybersecurity Act, the new Networks and Information Security Directive (NIS2) and the Cyber Resilience Act. However, lacking IT expertise might prevent companies and public authorities from implementing them in full.
At the same time, the impact of powerful AI models like ChatGPT is revolutionising the IT sector, as many tasks are increasingly automated. However, generative AI also opens the door for more cyber threats by facilitating actors in phishing and malware creation.
To what extent is the EU ready to face these challenges, what is the magnitude of the cyber skills gap compared to other countries and what more can be done to bolster capacity building are all questions that urgently need an answer.
