Cyberscurity is one of the hottest domains that along with Cloud migration and Data & Analytics represents the pillar of the Digital Transformation.

Cybersecurity Threats can hamper the positive impacts that the transformation, hence the demand for professionals that operate in this domains is constantly surging across Europe, against a structural shortage.

  • Experience and Qualifications
  • Stress and Career Change
