The European Investment Bank (EIB), in efforts to enhance its professional development, implemented a job shadowing programme in cybersecurity. This initiative, aimed at employees with a keen interest in cybersecurity, provides a unique opportunity for cross-departmental collaboration and skills enhancement. The programme serves as a platform for mutual learning where cybersecurity experts share their expertise while gaining insights into the operational challenges faced by other departments. Programme participants, upon agreement with their respective managers and the CISO, are allocated one day per week throughout a quarter to work alongside the information security team. This immersive experience enables participating employees to gain first-hand experience in cybersecurity and equips them with the skills required to perform work functions in cybersecurity such as risk assessment, audit exercises, information security alignment with other international financial institutions and so forth. Ultimately, the programme allows for the creation of an internal talent pool.
