A digital future for all

With a global shortage of nearly 4 million cybersecurity professionals, the EU aims to upskill 20 million information and communication technology  specialists by 2030. In response, Cisco has committed to training 250,000 people in cybersecurity skills by 2026 through its Networking Academy. By 2024, it had already trained 224,000 individuals, strengthening Europe’s digital resilience. Cisco also champions diversity, offering scholarships for women in Spain, supporting the European CyberCup and training 9,000 Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Committed to long-term impact, Cisco will continue working with partners across Europe to bridge the skills gap and foster an inclusive digital future. Learn more on Invested in Europe.
