New European cybersecurity training course created with BME participation

The EU-funded REWIRE project, which aims to renew cybersecurity training in Europe, has come to an end with BME's Department of Network Systems and Services (Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Informatics) as the only Hungarian participant.

25 organisations from 11 countries - companies, training centres, research institutes, and universities from Cyprus, Czech Republic, France, Greece, Lithuania, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Sweden - cooperated with BME to develop recommendations and solutions that could reduce the gap between industry requirements and existing training, as well as help support innovation in cybersecurity.

The goal of the project was, among others, to create a methodology to assess the current situation and predict future needs, and to create a skills framework with data for the required cybersecurity profiles and their analysis.

BME's role was to participate in the development of new training courses available free of charge to all European professionals.

The four courses are: cyber incident responder, cyber threat intelligence specialist, penetration tester and chief information security officer.

BME project leader Tamás Holczer teaches in two of the four courses. As we learned from him, the courses are already running and some of them have already finished. REWIRE's participating institutions hope that the knowledge transferred can contribute to increasing society's resilience to cyber threats.
