Today's topic: “Working together to develop a generation of professionals who are aware and skilled in recognizing, preventing and responding to cyber threats.”

After introductions by Alejandra Reynaldos Rojas of the national Human Capital Agenda ICT, among others, the educational institutions (mbo, hbo and wo) talked to each other about training students and the working workforce.
The initiative focuses not only on more cyber specialists in Brabant but also on raising the basic knowledge level in many professions and training programs. Preferably also among children as early as elementary school.

What we note at the end of the session: Brabant is jointly preparing for intensification in this area!

Besides the theme Talent, there are other themes in Brabant House of Cyber, put on the agenda by companies such as ASML, NTS and VDL Groep. These include innovation for cyber-secure products and the economic opportunities this offers. And supporting companies in improving their digital security.

This meeting was organized by Guido Leestemaker of the BOM (Brabantse Ontwikkelings Maatschappij), Jel Bedaux of Avans Hogeschool, Marcel Diemont of NTS and Michiel Van Der Veen of TNO.
