Abstract

In the era of increasing digitalization of enterprises, the issue of cybersecurity is becoming one of the key challenges of the modern economy. In the face of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, companies worldwide must not only implement new technologies but also invest in their employees. Depending on the structure of the company, various approaches are used to hire specialists responsible for ensuring digital security within the organization. This is achieved by hiring cybersecurity specialists, entering into agreements with specialized firms, or taking ad-hoc actions such as commissioning companies to conduct audits and implement digital security solutions. On the other hand, it is crucial for universities to prepare students for work related to corporate cybersecurity. The purpose of this article is to propose a method for building competencies based on the principle applied in agile management methodologies (generalist, specialist), according to which team members should be specialists in one area and have general-level competencies in others. This concept of competency building stems from the fact that universities are unable to fully meet the competency requirements set by companies for their students. Additionally, the article analyzes contemporary security challenges related to the integration of IT and OT systems in enterprises. Key issues in these systems involve conflicting solutions of integration and segmentation (isolation) of system components, which have both advantages and disadvantages in terms of cybersecurity. Understanding the needs and competency gaps that define training requirements for newly hired graduates can be facilitated by a holistic approach supported by enterprise architecture models.
