What is it about?
In this article, we have analysed the skills shortages, gaps, and mismatches affecting cybersecurity education. We performed a Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal, and Environmental (PESTLE) analysis, that allowed us to have an overview of the cybersecurity education environment from multiple perspectives.

Why is it important?
Cybersecurity is a vital part of digital economies and digital governing but the discipline is suffering from a pronounced skills shortage. Nevertheless, the reasons for the inability of academia to produce enough graduates with the skills that reflect the needs of the cybersecurity industry are not well understood. Firstly, factors affecting cybersecurity education are identified, defined, and described. Secondly, the identified factors are further analyzed from the perspective of 11 European countries. This second stage allowed us to obtain a comprehensive view of the situation across Europe from a variety of national perspectives, as well as possible correlations between the factors. Finally, a statistical approach is used to view the results in a more general and comprehensive way and to reveal interesting findings.
