Implementation of the Basic Mechanisms of the Digital Skills Development Platform and Their Application in Constructing the Semantics of Typical Cybersecurity Roles Based on the SFIA Standard
Abstract
Today, the issue of mass training of IT specialists is particularly acute in connection with the digitalization of most areas of human activity. An urgent applied problem is the creation of a digital platform enabling organizations to report their specialist needs in real time, and universities to respond to relevant requirements and adjust the current training program.
The article describes the process of choosing a modern methodological framework for a digital skills development platform. Development of the core of the platform becomes the first step towards its creation. The article provides an example of the study of cybersecurity profiles using a skill-based approach. The application of the skills management system in conducting such a study is considered.
