CYRUS: boost your Cybersecurity skills
EITEIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative Pledger, CYRUS, is a cutting-edge initiative co-funded by the Digital Europe Programme, and offers free, high-quality cybersecurity training tailored specifically to the needs of the manufacturing and transport industry as well as SMEs.
The threat of cyber-attacks are a growing concern across all industrial sectors, but transport and manufacturing are especially vulnerable because of their extensive use of interconnected digital systems, which includes legacy equipment with outdated security, the complex nature of supply chains, as well as the increasing adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices.
If you’re a professional working in manufacturing or transport, or simply looking to upskill in cybersecurity, this is your opportunity to take part in a one-of-a-kind European training programme, but it’s only available until the end of 2025.
What is CYRUS?
Launched in January 2023, CYRUS is a personalised, customised, work-based training framework for enhanced Cybersecurity skills across industrial sectors.
The initiative was built around a simple but powerful idea: offer cybersecurity training that’s practical, industry-specific, and accessible to the people who need it most, especially SMEs.
Being aware of the different levels of digital expertise across organisations, sectors, and countries, they customise their training strategy to the user’s skills, know-how and needs. Based on the different needs, training include theoretical contents, practical exercises, presentations, gaming and role-plays, case studies for working groups, on-the-job and work-based formats, etc. This encourages the trainees to exercise with co-workers and continuously learn on the job collaboratively.
The courses are focused on:
- Cybersecurity technical skills;
- Cybersecurity methodological and organisational aspects;
- Practical exercises;
- On-the-job simulations in a cyber-range environment for the different industrial sectors.
