CSC-EDIC
Europe faces a persistent and widening shortage of cybersecurity professionals. This shortage affects public administrations, SMEs, critical sectors and national security, while the growing dependence on digital services makes cybersecurity skills essential for Europe’s resilience, competitiveness and strategic autonomy. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, Europe needs a stronger and better-prepared workforce able to prevent, detect and respond to cyber risks.
CSC-EDIC is a European initiative dedicated to strengthening cybersecurity capacity across Member States. By connecting academia, industry, and public authorities, the project develops a coordinated framework for education, training, and certification. Through strategic collaboration and the establishment of regional hubs, CSC-EDIC supports the development of a resilient and skilled workforce capable of addressing emerging cyber threats and enabling Europe’s secure digital transformation.
