At the Baltic Security Conference 2024, one of our project experts from Finland, Kaci Bourdache (Laurea University of Applied Sciences) presented the project and talk about the skills and competences of young security specialists. Kaci emphasized common trends in all project member states – the project’s research shows that the profile of a security specialist is changing and the requirements for knowledge and competences are only expanding. In addition to the professional knowledge, understanding of the latest technologies, cyber security, organizations and companies are requiring for a security specialist to have good soft skills, strategic thinking, knowledge of company management and business continuity.
