The increase of dependence on digital services as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic reinforced the general need to effectively address the long-term perceived cybersecurity expertise gap. One of the instruments that allow better coordination and optimization of efforts towards expedient and meaningful cybersecurity training and innovation is an alignment of perspectives on the competency requirements associated with the sought-after cybersecurity experts. To this goal, our research team is developing a cybersecurity qualifications framework modeled on the US-focused NICE framework. In this contribution, we present our progress in mapping the expected competencies to the defined work roles.
