Catalogues of programmes in cybersecurity

Cybersecurity is a profession with a future, according to the Cybersecurity Workforce Study, 2020 prepared by (ISC)2 -International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium-, currently in Europe there is a shortage of 168,000 specialists, a figure that amounts to 3.1 million experts Worldwide.

With these future prospects, more and more people are considering cybersecurity as a professional career and looking for training resources to specialise in the subject. In response to this demand, INCIBE has created two catalogues that gather the available academic cybersecurity offering in Spain:

• The Catalogue of Cybersecurity Regulated Training in Spain (former Catalogue of cybersecurity masters programmes) compiles the regulated training programs offered in Spain, from Vocational Training to University Master's Degrees. It currently has a total of 84 Master's Degree programs, 3 university specializations, 4 Bachelor's Degrees and 30 Vocational Training specializations in cybersecurity.
• The Catalogue of institutions that offer cybersecurity training in Spain joins 168 centres where one can study cybersecurity. This training can be regulated or not regulated.

The catalogues are periodically updated and we work to include all existing training programmes that meet the requirements. However, some changes or new training programmes may not be appear in the current version. Any request for correction, inclusion, deletion or update of contents can be transferred to
