Empowering Cyber Talent to Secure Europeโs Digital Future
Sealing a partnership under the Industry-Academia Network of the Cybersecurity Skills Academy, ISC2 and CS VISOR will, through this partnership, enable ISC2 to provide free access to a self-paced course and ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity certification exam for at least 250 learners from the German vocational and education training provider CS VISOR, as part of ISC2โs One Million Certified in Cybersecurity programme, aimed at expanding access to foundational cybersecurity education and helping individuals launch careers in the field.
This network aims to bridge the cybersecurity skills gap by fostering collaboration between academia and industry.
As one of the selected organizations, CS VISOR will work alongside leading academic institutions and industry pledgers to:
- Align cybersecurity education with industry needs
- Develop joint training programs and certifications
- Create mentorship and apprenticeship opportunities
๐ On 30th October 2025, ISC2 and CS VISOR have signed a partnership under ย the Industry-Academia Network of the Cybersecurity Skills Academy, joining efforts to narrow the cybersecurity skills and talent gap in Europe.
Within this partnership, ISC2 will grant free access to the Certified in Cybersecurity (CC) training and exam to at least 250 trainees of the CS VISOR Cyber Academy, under the One Million Certified in Cybersecurity programme.
In alignment with CS VISORโs AI-Powered Cyber Security / Information Security Immersion Program, learners and alumni will benefit from an integrated training pathway that combines theoretical foundations with AI-enhanced hands-on practice and real internship experiences in Security Operations Centers (SOCs).
The CS VISOR curriculum, which is separate from and not part of the ISC2 CC curriculum, covers core operational cybersecurity domains, including:
- Threat detection and monitoring (SIEM/EDR/XDR)
- Penetration testing and vulnerability management
- Incident response and forensics
- Information Security Management System (ISMS) implementation
- Risk management and compliance
This partnership directly supports the implementation of key EU cybersecurity policies and regulations, including the NIS2 Directive, Cyber Resilience Act, Cyber Solidarity Act, EU AI Act, and Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).
It also contributes to sectoral compliance initiatives, where continuous staff training and awareness are essential to building cyber resilience.
