Abstract. The area of cybersecurity is increasingly crucial in current day interconnected world. This translates into particularly dire demand for qualified experts. These encompass not only highly skilled IT specialists, but also other related professionals with legal, administrative, economic or security studies backgrounds. Despite major employment opportunities in this field, the standard education frameworks nowadays do not produce adequate numbers of qualified workforce required in this field. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of this area required intensive continuous learning mechanisms in place that allow for gradual and systematic improvement in individuals expertise and capabilities. However, establishment of such training programs and qualification validation requires first a thorough analysis of the current and future needs of the field, that would be translated into a comprehensive and complex qualifications framework.
