The Global Cyber Conference 2026 is just around the corner. Last tickets are available here: https://globalcyberconference.com/

The skills companies need are changing. People need the chance to build them.

In an interview with Fabienne Riklin-Truninger for Tages-Anzeiger, Interiman Group CEO 𝗥𝗮𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗶𝗱 expects 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝟭𝟬 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. He also emphasizes that companies need to invest more in people already in the workforce, rather than expect them to have every skill from day one.

At Swiss Cyber Institute, we work on both sides of that challenge. Through our 𝗔𝗜 𝗕𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 and 𝗖𝘆𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁 programs, we help professionals build the skills they need to stay employable and help companies develop those skills within their teams.
