Cybersecurity Skills Needs Analysis in Hungary

Cybersecurity in Hungary has gained increasing importance as the country continues to modernise its digital infrastructure and engage in global networks. With rising cyber threats targeting both public and private organisations, the government is actively investing in strengthening national cybersecurity capabilities through various initiatives. This includes establishing dedicated cybersecurity institutions and agencies to oversee national policies and strategies.
In this report, CyberHub Hungary examines the current cybersecurity roles and skills landscape, focusing on the gaps between educational training and employer demands. The Analysis aims to identify the critical requirements for cybersecurity skills and professional roles, taking into account Hungary’s cybersecurity ecosystem, challenges, and opportunities.
The results reveal a significant demand for roles such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Incident Response Handler, and Cybersecurity Implementer, with key skills needed in software security, privacy protection, and risk management. The report emphasises the necessity of a blend of technical and soft skills, including communication and analytical thinking, to meet the evolving cybersecurity challenges.
These insights underscore the importance of collaboration between education and industry to integrate cybersecurity knowledge into public education and enhance workforce readiness through tailored, industry-aligned training programmes. Addressing the existing mismatches between training supply and employer demand is crucial for fostering a skilled cybersecurity workforce in Hungary.
