Cyberscurity is one of the hottest domains that along with Cloud migration and Data & Analytics represents the pillar of the Digital Transformation.

Cybersecurity Threats can hamper the positive impacts that the transformation, hence the demand for professionals that operate in this domains is constantly surging across Europe, against a structural shortage. With this premise we have decided, with Ataya & partners to propose to ECSO and to Solvay Brussels School to launch a recurring survey to monitor the development of the status of Cybersecurity Profession focusing in particular on several dimensions among which:

• Experience and Qualifications
• Stress and Career Change
• Training and Development
• Skills and Career Goals
• Current Salary Ranges

We have gathered responses from 19 countries members of EU plus United Kingdom.
It has been split in 2 surveys, 1 focused only on CISO’s, leveraging the relevant community within ECSO and 1 dedicated to all CyberSec professionals, across all the Job Functions (currently 11 withing the CIISEC framework)
