Fabio Di Franco
ENISA, EU

European Cybersecurity Skills Framework
The European Cybersecurity Skills Framework (ECSF) is tool for a common understanding of the cybersecurity professional role profiles in Europe and common mapping with the appropriate skills and competences required. It is an integral part of the Cybersecurity Skills Academy, which was recently announced by the European Commission, in order to define and assess skills, monitor the evolution of skill gaps and provide indications of emerging needs.

Dr. Fabio Di Franco is leading the activities in ENISA on cyber skills development for highly skilled people. He is the chair of the working group who developed and maintain the European Cybersecurity Skills Framework (ECSF). He is also responsible for developing and delivering trainings to EU member states and EU institutions on information security management and IT security.

Cybersecurity Education for All
In modern society, surrounded by technology and applications of data analytics, all students need to be digitally fluent. Furthermore, as the pace of technological adoption into foundational aspects of our lives increases, digital fluency and cybersecurity are increasingly co-dependent.  Cybersecurity education for all means that learners need to develop cybersecurity awareness to protect themselves, their academic institutions, their employers, and in turn society at large. Additionally, because learners will need to continuously adapt to new threats or risks, both digital fluency and cybersecurity education require developing an attitude and disposition for lifelong learning and problem solving. As educators, we must collaborate to demand and lead the adoption of these initiatives.

Kendra Walther serves as Associate Director for Faculty Affairs and an Associate Professor in the Information Technology Program. Kendra has her bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Harvey Mudd College, and a master’s degree in Computer Science from University of Maryland, College Park. She is currently pursuing an EdD in Educational Leadership from Rossier @ USC. She has worked for the Aerospace Corporation and taught Computer Science at Cal State LA, St. Albans School, and Milwaukee School of Engineering. Kendra is passionate about teaching and is constantly trying to find more ways to help her students understand the principles of programming.
