European Cybersecurity Skills Conference 2026

⚠️ New Conference Date

ENISA and the Digital Security Authority (DSA) of Cyprus are pleased to announce the 4th European Cybersecurity Skills Conference, to be held in Larnaca, Cyprus, on 4–5 November 2026.

Uniting the full cybersecurity skills ecosystem from across the EU, the conference will serve as a key forum to exchange experiences, address emerging challenges, and showcase best practices in cybersecurity skills development.

Key topics will include:

• The ongoing revision of the European Cybersecurity Skills Framework (ECSF), which ensures alignment with a secure digital product lifecycle, emerging technologies such as AI, and new EU policy and legislative developments, and introduces proficiency levels to better support skills definition, career development, training pathways, and workforce assessment.
• European initiatives on skills recognition, with the proposal for the attestation of cybersecurity skills, aimed at improving transparency, comparability, trust, and professional mobility across Europe.

The Conference was originally planned for 4-5 March but was postponed due to the situation in the Middle East.
