The cybersecurity field is one of the fastest-growing cross-sectoral fields. Cybersecurity workforce demand is very high and it is difficult to hire competent professionals. The agile and changing cyber environment sets high requirements for workforce awareness, competence, and skillsets. Despite all education efforts, the cyber workforce gap is growing. Educating students is not sufficient, we need to re-train and upskill current workforce with professional training. Given the global nature of the challenge, no single actor alone can tackle the cybersecurity workforce shortage. It requires collaboration across the academic, public and private sectors. The Advanced Program Cyber Security and Governance covers a wide range of cybersecurity knowledge areas needed for the cybersecurity workforce to conduct their day-to-day activities and tasks. The uniqueness of the program is that it combines the best practices of academia, the public sector, and industry to meet the needs of professional life through a truly practitioner's approach.
We offer this Advanced Program in collaboration with TILT, with contributions from: NCSC, RDI, DNB, TU Delft, Fox-IT, Microsoft, NATO, ASML and CISOs of leading multinational corporations, like ASML, KPN, ING, AkzoNobel and Philips.
