In 2024, artificial intelligence will pose new risks to the digital security of European businesses.
Business experts are called upon to defend their networks but often do not know how to do so because they lack correct academic preparation.
This is according to new research from the cybersecurity company Kaspersky, according to which 43% of corporate security workers in Europe must invest new resources to train and deal with hacker threats.
Conducted on over a thousand professionals globally, including Italy, the study states that the European education system is far from the reality of cybersecurity.
This translates into a lack of concreteness when it comes to real work experience.
In Europe, only 39% of respondents said their university or school program offered hands-on experience in real-world cybersecurity scenarios through concrete projects.
Within this segment, 14% said they "strongly agreed" while 25% said they "somewhat agreed".
Furthermore, access to the latest technologies and equipment and the quality of internships have emerged as the weakest aspects of cybersecurity training for most countries.
According to those interviewed, the Meta area (Middle East, Turkey, Africa) is the one that has the poorest quality of cybersecurity training.
The Latin America region has the highest-rated digital security education programs.
