• CADMUS Cybersecurity Training Ecosystem

      We are delighted to welcome you to our specialized cybersecurity training ecosystem. Our mission is to provide you with the most advanced tools and knowledge to excel in the digital security landscape.

      The CADMUS project aims to address the cybersecurity expertise shortage in Europe by developing targeted training opportunities based on approaches including cyber range projects, serious games, table top exercises, hackathons, bootcamps, and traineeships. These interventions aim to upskill educators, trainers, SME and startup employees, civil servants as well as graduate students who target cybersecurity careers. The project will utilize existing initiatives and offers in cyber security training to build upon and develop enhanced training curricula based on integrating proven training models and standards. The project started on December 1st, 2024, and will run for 36 months (until November 2027).

      Below, you will find our range of available cybersecurity courses and training modules. If you wish to participate, please click on the registration button of each course and follow the instructions provided therein.

      We look forward to seeing you in our training sessions!
